This is sweet, screw sapphire & thermatake. This will preform soo much better and give people an idea of what real water water cooling is. Though I bet this will be expensive, I'd say £450 inc vat...

Looks to be a bit slimmer than a X1900 with stock double-slot cooler?

Yes - all of Aqua Computer's full-card blocks (that I know of) are single-slot, this one included.

Can I be the first to say it! Whoop-dee-doo. (Not impressed)
Yes its good to see, but I the real world of watercooling, I think its far better to do it the faffing around yourself.
You find out so much more, and it helps. Not to mention, omg custom.

yay....aquacomputer...small bore.

Too bad that most people use 1/2 and 3/8 tubing. They should have used danger den. If i remember correctly, danger den has a 1900 block.

Full card coolers are pointless IMO. They are just very restricive and kill your flow badly. All thats really needed is a GPU block and the memory and volt regs can be cooled adequately with passive air.

It's nice that this sort of thing is arriving, but I'd rather do it all myself when I decide to watercool my system.

It allows me to put exactly what I want on the card, for a start. Still, props to Club3D for doing this.
