The bundle with the 8800GTX XXX isn't as exciting as one would hope. However, in honor of cutting costs and passing it on to the consumer, the bundle is as sparse as it gets. The usual suspects are included: two DVI to AGP port converters, an S-Video cable and a nS-Video to HD Composite Converter. Other than that, you'll get a Driver CD and a couple instructional pamplets about how you'll need two PCI-E power connectors for each card you'll use.

Hey look, a Wolfman!
