As you all know getting to the CMOS jumper is impossible when running Dual 8800's. Here is a quick and easy mod that will allow access to it at any time without disassembling your entire rig. Just cost me $3.00 for a SPDT toggle switch from Radio Shack. I also used an old case fan I had laying around and cut off the cord to the fan keeping the 3 pin connector. I then soldered the 3 wires to the Toggle switch and that was it. I never have to worry about pulling the system all apart to reset CMOS again. Which in my case is a pain in the arse due to the Vapo.

If you do a search, someone posted the same mod on the badaxe when it came out..
I've seen it done on dfistreet back on a 939 build as well, he mounted the swich by drilling a hole just above the PCI backplate so he could acess the swich from the outside of the case (in the back out of the way of goof-ups)

Always a good idea, expecialy with mobos that need reset alot or in cases like yours were the GFX(s) will be in the way.
