how do quad sli stack up

how do quad sli systems stack up such as maingears vs Dells?

unless you have a 30" monitor, other then that, Quad SLI is a waste. If your going with high end system, I would go w/ the maingear.

Performance gains are likely negligble, but e-penis size increase is exponential!~

Pure numbers wise, probably not much. I guess the big difference is that Dell uses Intel processors, while you can get a Quad SLI machine from Maingear with an AMD solution.

But if you read our CPU scaling article, it won't matter that much when it comes down to pure framerates:
