    Might not be different since the Heatsinks would be turned around from left to right . not positive but thats what im thinking as quite honestly i didnt put much though into it when i had the system opened up :).

    What number did you call and what's the part number for the 280's?

    I think currently $350.00 per card is a good deal since there are none for sale and a place like RJtech sells the cards for $410.00 (not the same exact ones but 260s nonetheless) .

    Only problem i see is that if someone ends up with say the master card and trying to put it in the secondary slot is the SLI cable being the real issue because its an exact fit , theres not much wiggle room to turn the cable to make it fit .

    Didn't you say $700 for both 280's? That would be $350 per card, right?

    Sounds about right ben but you might be stuck with the single 260 since people are going to want the secondary card with the SLI cable :(.

    Haha he is not selling the 280s ?? Did he not just spend $1500.00 to upgrade to the 280s ???? Why would he sell those when he just paid almost double what people are offering lol ?? You guys seemed to have your numbers crossed lol.

    He didnt pay $1500.00 to downgrade to 260s .

    I'd pay $350 for the secondary 260, providing it has SLI cable + heat sink...
