ATI & ASUS - The extreme gaming bundle
ASUSTek Computer Inc (ASUS) has a package deal that you can not resist. This package includes the Extreme AX600XT/TD graphics card, P5GD1 motherboard, a stylish game controller, 300,000-pixel web cam, and the hottest 3D games such as Invisible War and other useful software. The Extreme AX600XT/TD is powered by the world’s first native 16-lane PCI Express VPUs, the RADEON® X600 XT, and incorporates a host of unique ASUS features such as GameFace Live, VideoSecurity Online, OnScreenDisplay, SmartDoctor, SmartCooling and HyperDrive.

GameFace Live – Talk to and see your teammates
GameFace Live is the world’s first multi-player, video/audio communication solution for DirectX® PC gaming. It enables simultaneous connection up to eight players, allowing gamers to talk to and see teammates or the enemies during PC gaming.

OnScreenDisplay – Fast setting adjustment
This feature allows users to adjust general settings such as brightness and contrast levels, VR settings and extra light settings while watching movies or playing 3D games. No need to stop the movie or game.

VideoSecurity Online– Set up a home security system
Simply aim the webcam to a specific area and this unique feature will monitor that location, take snap shots of any unauthorized visitors and send out warning messages to pre-programmed recipients via e-mails or phone messages.

ASUS SmartDoctor – Intelligent System monitoring

Overheat Protection
Fan RPM Monitoring
AGP Power level Monitoring
HyperDrive – 3 ways to enhance VPU power.

3D Mode: When HyperDrive detects operation of 3D programs, it automatically speeds up VPU clock to provide optimal visual effects.
CPU Mode: HyperDrive raises VPU speed to share system work load when CPU loading is high.
Temperature Mode: HyperDrive overclocks depending on system temperature to strike a balance between performance and hardware protection.
The P5GD1, just like all ASUS motherboards, leveraged exclusive innovations to enhance the system platform it supports.

AI NOS™ – Boost performance when it’s most needed
3D games and video editing demand large system resources. The patented AI NOS (Non-delay Overclocking System) technology intelligently detects system loading and automatically boosts performance for the most demanding tasks. Unlike other ”dynamic overclocking” mechanisms that overclock according to temperature, AI NOS accelerates exactly when it’s most needed.

AI NET2™ –Diagnose LAN connection before entering OS
Network problems are often caused by bad cable connections. AI NET2 remotely detects cable connections the second you turn on the system, and reports back any faulty connections up to 100 meters at 1 meter accuracy.

The P5GD1 supports Intel’s newest LGA775 Pentium 4 processor and 915P chipset and adopted the dual-channel DDR 400 architecture and eight USB 2.0 ports. It is truly a feature-rich yet affordable motherboard

sounds great..... but the cost must be HUGE for this. But I would love to get it if I could see how much the damn thing costs!

I think they may have prices on the Asus website.

*edit* You could find out the prices for each thing individually then have an estimated price.
