GTX 480, then SLI it with another when they drop in price and voila, you have an insane PC :P (Providing you aren't using an Intel Atom 1.66Ghz CPU
)

I'd love to see someone's electricity bill after running two GTX480's for a year.

Yeah go for the GTX 480. I'm planning on strapping another one of these bad boys in when there's a price drop. And who knows, maybe a third even later.
