The high end computer rig by BFG, Phobos, now has the option for two BFG GeForce GTX 275 video cards and an Intel solid-state drive as an option. Two of the 275 cards can exceed the performance of a GeForce GTX 295 so you get some pretty blazing speeds here. Options for the solid state drive include 64GB, 80GB, and 160GB and systems start at around $3,000. and run above $8000 Yeah, the Phobos systems aren't cheap and I took a gander at them at CES this year and they are pretty slick looking. These systems come with a tech to setup your system so you get some pretty heavy hand holding through the process when you purchase one of these guys.
