Old news. eVGA has been doing this since last year. Of course, the MB is
only included if you opt for the expensive video card SKUs (~$450 for the
7800GT bundle).

That's not bad.
My 2nd 7800GTX was $440 at NewEgg, by itself.

Read my post again. I said 7800GT, not GTX, big difference in price there.
:-)

Keep in mind an NF4 SLI board, like the Gigabyte GA-K8N-SLI, can be had for
$100.

Yeah, I was surprised to get my K8N-SLI for $95. The PSU's cost more than
the motherboard!!! eVGA products at the eVGA site seem to be a good bit
higher priced than a lot of re/e-tailers are selling for. My 2nd 'GTX was
$110 less than the first one.
If their mobos are as solid as their vid cards then they're likely a very
good board. BUT, $199 for a mobo with no more features than I have for $95?
I don't think so :)
My rig is now complete. Except for possibly that new Silverstone PSU :)

McG, You have a top of the line system so you should go for the best PS,
and that is PC Power & Cooling. Their PSs have been tested many times and
*never* has there been any failure to live up to (or exceed) advertised
specs. The 510 Deluxe SLI would be ideal for your system.

Yeah, PP&C power supplies are designed to operate *continuously* at their
rated maximum load, at 50 C environmental temperatures. Though at $200 you
can probably get two Enermax units and run the video cards on a dedicated
power supply...

The eVGA mobos are manufactured by a third-party. Can't remember the name,
though it was mentioned in the NCIX forums. The mobos carry "only" a
two-year warranty, not lifetime like the brand's high-end video cards,
though this is not a practical drawback. eVGA support has a good reputation
I hear.

They do on paper at least. I haven't had to use their warranty yet.
Still, their listed price for the mobo is $199. That's just too much, IMO.
