    That looks pretty cool (pun intended).

    finally, a first response to a news post!

    Yay me.

    Looks like you'll be able to fit it into a G-series shuttle too :D

    Happy me!

    This is the card I will be looking to buy once I move over to 939. I'll have to see what nVidia give us first.

    It seems the logical way, shifting the heatsink onto the other side of the card. I'm surprised it hasn't been done before, what with cpu heatsinks using heatpipes working so well.

    No good for any Lian Li v-series users by the looks of it (or any flipped-ATX cases), but a good idea. Especially seeing that a typical case will have an exhaust fan right there sucking hot air off the heatsink. I'm assuming this'll be around 6800gt levels performance-wise, going by the current trend of this-gen midrange is about last-gen top-end. There's definately a market for it, though I've gotta say I'm set on graphics cards for the moment.
