Geforce 8600 and Quadro 5600

New systems arrived for CVIT for which cards were lying around for a while. 2 x Nvidia 8600 GTS and a giant Quadro FX 5600 (Dont confuse this 5600 with the primitive Geforce FX5600). Check the pic below to compare its size with other ones.

The ATI X1800XT shown above in the middle is of same size as Nvidia 7950GX2, so 8800GTX was winning until now in the size.
Which we compared with Pati's hand previously
But now the FX5600 is reaching his elbow! FX5600 wins and hopefully will stay clear from any competitor for good amount of time.

To fit 5600 in a computer, we literally had to break apart some part of the cabinet. Those parts of the cabinet didn't contain any screws or anything so we had to hammer them out.

And the 2 cute 8600 cards are put into SLI. The computers holding these cards are ultra high end containing Intel E6750 Core 2 Duo, and 2GB ram. w00t
