Actually the price is not that bad if you break it down.
If you wanting to run 6 monitors and are looking for the same performance Eyefinity card will cost you $550 and a second 5870 would run you $520 so its not to far off the mark.

Very nice, but very expensive.
Also, the case isn't exactly a P90. It's just a generic bullpup style SMG/Assault Rifle
guns are one thing I know nothing about
so I looked it up and that is what most people were referring to it as. To me it is just a toy guy

Agreed. I didn't want to knock it on the price point because we all know the premium these cards come with and this makes it no different in that regards than the $1200 ASUS ARES.
