    it doesn't have sli. d900f only has one graphics card.

    edit: it could be a new chasis though, needs new mobo to support fb dimm. so maybe it could have room for 2 cards. but then it would need a 300w+ psu.
    130w cpu+ 75x2w gpu=280w. that's just for sli 3700m, it would be 130+200 for dual 3800m. add four hard drives and other stuff. you're looking at about 400w. lol
