OK the SLI certification is getting ridiculous

OK the SLI certification is getting ridiculous.

SVC now has a SLI certified chassis?!?!?!?!?

Exactly pray tell, what testing did it have to go through that the 90000 other chassis that are available didnt pass?

I can understand if they dont fit due to size but other then size, what precludes me from using an old beige box or even some cardboard for my chassis? Does the warranty become void if you arent using a certified chassis? Does the card do a system check and refuse to run until the approved and certified materials are used in the system configuration?

For that matter, why does it include a 1kw PSU? I understand that the GTX's are powerhogs but you dont NEED the 1kw PSU do you?

Sorry just getting annoyed at the SLI certfication that is being tossed around.

Hmm, wonder if YOU will have to be SLI certified before being able to use the system(pictures you getting tattooed after passing the exam).

a 800w good psu will be enough for 2 ultras even, someone said.
they're just trying to make more money of it with the titles i think.

This has been out for a little while, but here's why it prolly gets that sticker.

I can see buying a branded case.

The Nvidia case has a distinct difference from the regular stacker.

FTLink:


That still doesnt exactly clarify why the stacker is SLI certified, what tests can they do on a case?

Diagnostic team to Marketing Exec:
DT:Ok, the side does in fact come off.
DT:The front plates are in fact the correct size to accomodate DVD burners!
DT:Look the Motherboard tray has preinstalled nuts for the MB standoffs!
DT:There are even holes for fans to be added!
DT:Holy crap it can even have a PSU installed in it!!!!!

DT:Eureka we have finally found a case that can have a MB, PSU, and peripherals installed in it!

ME:Quick brand it SLI certified before ATI gets wind of this!

lol... an sli certified monitor would have to be a CRT... cus well lcds just dont have the refresh rates of a CRT... or they would have to come out with a new lcd technology... which brings me to sony's new lcd hdtv... supossedly does 120hz... why can they bring that to the pc realm... i would buy an LCD in a heart beat.

then after the SLI certified monitor, you would need a sli certified kb and mouse set, to take full advantage of the sli lol.

No, not quite. You're still missing the SLI-certified desk, SLI chair, and SLI Cheetos. (And possibly the SLI-certified hand lotion...?)

Only for those SLI certified biology movies you're watching.

All of you forgot the main necessity for SLI though!

SLI Energy drinks for all those late night SLI gaming sessions on your new SLI gaming RIG.

Nah, they'll just present you with the SLi Lifestyle Package including your brand new SLi certified girlfriend!*

I saw some SLI certified RAM earlier today, kinda threw me for a loop. Thankfully I found this thread and it cleared up everything!
