I wondered if I was the only one that was reading things like that.

I never mentioned anything because I didn't want to sound like a sign8

I checked the EVGA website every night until... suddenly the Classified was available so... I BOUGHT ONE!! Got number 0167 of the limited edition Now that they're gone and I'm pissed at my R2E I wish I'd gotten two :(

At the same time, I was watching the the 285 hydro coppers that were also "coming soon" but had totally talked myself out of buying them... too much money. Then one night I checked and they said "BUY NOW"... SO I DID So much for self control :(

What about a 780i nightmare ??? I have one with a little Q9450 C2Q on it that I was thinking of watering and tri sli'ing to see if I could get boints out of it ... second time I've heard tell of this nightmare but no details :(

Do know it took me 3 tries to finally get a board that worked :p

I had both the 780i and 780i FTW both working and fully functional with a C2Q Q9550 @ 4.0Ghz, but the performance was lacking beyond words with TRI-SLI GTX280's. There was such a hinderence in performance from what I guess was memory and C2Q not being able to let the GTX280's stretch their legs. Not something I was happy with I sold a GTX280 and kept two ever since, but upgraded other stuff in the process.
