Why is it so damn hard to get my hands on a ROG graphics card? 

http://www.asus.com/us/ROG_ROG/ARES26GD5/ - Ive been looking for this card for so long my eyes are going to fall out.. Every place is either sold out or unavaliable.. Are they limited edition or what? Help me out.. My receding hairline grows the longer I look. Thanks Guys!

Why the hell would you buy an ARES II? Just no. Get a couple of GTX 780 TI DCU II and SLI them for the price of a new ARES II.

I kinda figured.. but that card... its pure power... I love anything ROG.. especially something that's meant for eyefinity

But it'd be even more cost effective to get a stock R 9 290X, water cool it and OC the heck out of it......and it'd look good as well. I'd recently gone the WC route for my dual R9 290X and I must say, I like the temps I'm seeing. Besides, I can still maintain that RoG look with a red and black them....btw, mine is still a WIP, going to swap out that H100 with a custom open loop..
