Looks awesome!
I was sceptical when I saw it included CPU Water cooling too! 1x 120mm fan seems far too little for 3 large heat sources! But from the review it seems to perform rather well. Dependant on price, I may just pick up one of these! --------------------  -----------------------------------------------------||Main||----------------||Vista Enterprise 64-bit||--------------------------------- ||C2Q Q9550 @ 3.4 + TRUE Black||4GB Corsair Dominator|| ASUS P5Q-E||Corsair HX520|| ||ASUS ENGTX285 1GB ||ASUS Xonar D2||SpinPoint F1 32MB 750GB ||DVR-216D || Card Reader|| ||Benq FP241W||LG L1710B||Logitech Z-5500||Logitech G15||Logitech G5||Logitech UltraVision|| -----------------------------------------------------||Second||----------------||Vista Enterprise 32-bit||-------------------------------------- ||C2D E6850 + Si-128||2GB OCZ SLi||eVGA 680i||Gainward GTS250||WD Caviar SE 250GB||PC P&C 610W ESP12 SLI|| -----------------------------------------------------||Server||-----------------||Server 2008 Enterprise 64-bit||------------------------------ ||C2Q Q6600||8GB OCZ Reaper||Intel DP35DP ||2x Seagte 80GB RAID 0 OS||3x Hitachi 500GB RAID 5 Data||PC P&C 610W ESP12 SLI|| -------------------------------------------------------||IRL||--------------------||XP Pro 32-bit / 7 Beta 64-bit||--------------------------------- ||AMD FX-57||2GB Crucail BallistiX||MSI k8N Neo2 Plat.||Saphire X1950Pro 512 AGP||Seagate 160GB||OCZ ModXstream 400W|| |

the card didn't perform wonders above and beyond the regular 4870x2 and 4850x2 but I'd say it's worth it for the mini water cooling system, I'm tempted to buy it just to check out that cooling system.

That's a damn nice looking all-in-one setup! They usually suck balls, it's nice to see someone do it right.

Does the CPU cooling bit really perform that well? Damn! That config really does look bad@ss!
Quick suggestion for a CrossFireX setup, use the second CPU cooler on the NB

The benchmarks looks dissapointing, I would expect more performance for the price. The Palit Revolution 4870x2 benchmarks looks crazy as hell. Too bad I can't pick up one during the holiday season.

For a card with so many extras, it would be really nice to get a pic of it installed in the test system - or if there was one such picture in the review, I missed it...
