This is going to look silly:

ATI HD4850 1GB - sold
ATI HD4890 1GB - sold
ATI HD5850 1GB <- died
Nvidia GTX470 - sold
Nvidia GTX480 - sold
Nvidia GTX480 SLI - sold
AMD 6950 2GB - sold
ATI HD5970 2GB - sold for profit!
Nvidia GTX460 2GB SLI - sent back
Nvidia GTX480 <- died
Nvidia GTX480

There's also an 8800GT in there somewhere...
