    Mine came with the Nvidia 280's, wondered if someone had the part numbers for the ATI cards, and the Crossfire cable by chance?

    I would just order the cable from dell and get the cards somewhere else. They overcharge for the second card.

    Thanks guys, but sadly, caught in a catch 22, they approved my replacement system, according t them it's allready shipped, with the wrong graphics cards 280's again, so their intercepting that laptop, and going to do a whole new order with the ATI cards, seems silly to me, don't understand why they can't just let it ship, and then overnight me the ATI's.

    You could get both card and flash one of them to a primary. It should work. I have the bios for both.

    You can shoot the seller a question regarding getting the set, I remembered the seller was selling by the pairs for around $1,200.00.
