Inside the Asus Mars

We simply couldn't resist! Sorry, Asus, but your super expensive Mars graphics card was just too tempting not to take apart. The seven year old voice of overwhelming inquisitiveness inside our heads was just too strong.

more here inc some piccies

Once the case is off there's not really much to it.

3dfx Voodoo II chips

It must run really cool if the two mars bars in the picture above have not melted.

They just wanted to show off the fact that they have the balls to take apart the card.

I think they were trying to find the 50 £20 notes there as they couldnt find where they spent it on the rest of the card

Where were the baked kittens?

For £1000, I'd expect a gold plated PCB with diamonds stuck to the cooler and a pair of platinum silver dice hanging off the end.

arc@css · 28 Sep 2009 at 20:54

Hehe, yeah, don't forget the dice
