That's the classic american muscle car of computers.  Very nice job.

 
 

hehe thanks man well this computer is dutch btw I am located in The Netherlands for about 20 years since I left Australia my old homeland which has been like for 11 years

Here's a nice image, I compared the specs of my XFX 6800 Ultra and my EVGA GTX 580 SCE

 
Just cool to compare them, even being 6 years apart

I wish I still had my BFG 6800 GT OC AGP, but back then they had a promotion to trade in AGP cards for PCI-E cards and I got a free 512MB 9600 GT OC PCI-E out of it.

that's very nice for a replacement heh! Although useless if you were still using the AGP bus, Like I am with my 6800 Ultra system for example, but if you look on ebay there are plenty good AGP offerings out there :)

well at the time the promotion happened I was on a 320MB 8800 GTS PCI-E, AMD X2 4200+ 2.2Ghz system, on a Asrock Motherboard that had Both a PCI-E and AGP, I chose the board for that reason so I could change cards on a budget. The 6800 GT was just sitting on my shelf
 
the 512MB 9600 GT was a nice upgrade for me, because the 320MB Video Ram was limiting me on games at the time

I got a evga 6800 ultra just like that one.I use it to run the comp I use for watching internet tv shows.I even played the new batman game on it  after my 260 did a smoke show.The old 6800 ultra still rocks.Just think they where over $500 new.

lol I just put a  pci-e msi 6800 in my sis pc not that long ago
 
EDIT
I love to get my hands on a mobo like your abit you have there 

I remember walking into microcenter and purchasing my 6800 ultra with a big stack of cash..........what a great card it was. still sitting on my desk, I should build a rig just to use it. 

I miss my BFG 6800GT OC   AGP.. That video card was a beast in its time. Does anyone know how much it cost when it was first released?

Obviously that 6800 >s the 580 =P...

I miss my 6800 and abit MB.

i just checked ebay and most of the stuff there is either broke, for MAC, way over priced or listed wrong.

I have the EVGA 6800 Ultra EE hanging on my wall, along with other legendary cards, like these, Aopen Geforce256, Aopen Geforce2 GTX, MSI Geforce4 Ti 4200, PNY FX5800Ultra, Radeon 9700Pro, 7950GX2, and an 8800 Ultra. The last 2 cards didn't have stickers so i could identify vendor grabbed all of these on ebay broken just to hang up :D

As for the GeForce 6800's These are the ones I have atm:
