Hmm, well a new Eco will cost around £60 on ebay, a new GTX260 will cost £130 and a new 4890 will cost £140. So if I get 2 9800GT Eco's, it will come to around £120 and it will only use 50W's of power on full load, per card. So thats around 100W's for both cards on peak load. Looking at the graph below, it shows the 4890 and the GTX260 burning past 250W's on peak.

Don't forget, that the first card will be running PCI-e 2.0, while the other two slots on my motherboard only run on 1.1.
Thanks!
