Anyone running a ATI HD 6990?

I'm getting this in a couple of weeks' time.
This is one mean monster card!
2 cards, together, 1 slot!
A massive 4GB memory, options for clock frequencies and TDP via a small micro switch on the card. 3072 shader processors, most top end GPU's count 1536 shader processors!
The core clock is locked in at either 830 mhz or 880 mhz, unlocked.
The memory is clocked at 5000 mhz.
DX 11 ofc, 4 display port monitor connectors, with a crossfire connector, which opens up 2 of these cards running! Yep, in theory, 4 cards, 2 slots, an 8BG monster, sitting under the hood.
System in idle consumes 195 W, (All in default mode),
System in full stress-489 W.
Price on eBay is $800 AU. Can probably get it cheaper, am window-shopping atm.
My mouth is watering.
Edit: yes, i will be running this in dual monitor set-up. This card is simply not designed for single monitor set-up. A waste of power using it with a single monitor.
