That big and scary beast of a card has found a cozy home

The dual-GPU GeForce GTX 690 was launched by NVIDIA just a few days ago, but it already has companies calling on its services.

In a move that isn't all that surprising, Maingear has formally announced that the Kepler-based monster is available as an option on some of its machines.

In case you forgot, the card alone costs $999 in the US and around 900 Euro in Europe, which means that there is no way you'll be able to afford one of those PCs without big bank accounts or deep pockets. Such is the price for art.

"The New Geforce GTX 690 is quite simply a work of art. It reminds us of when NVIDIA introduced the very first GeForce 256, a market dominating product that set the standard time after time," said Wallace Santos, CEO and founder of MAINGEAR.

"Everything about this card just screams power, performance, and perfection."
