There have been times where getting 2 cards in SLI was more economical than buying the equivalent single card with similar performance. Of course, there are issues with heat - but I remember back in the day (not even that long ago) that buying two 8800GT's in SLI was cheaper and faster than buying a single 8800GTX.

Personally, I got an SLI board, and a single GTX460. I was going to buy a second GTX460, but ended up buying a tv/ps3... so maybe in a few months?
