That's AWESOME!!! Although I find the choice of 2xHDMI + 1xDVI + 1xVGA questionable. Why not 2x DVI instead of the VGA?

I think I'd feel nothing but pity for the person who buys this card just to put a full-cover waterblock on it.

I like it, but as was said earlier, I don't see a need for 2 HDMI ports... 2 DVI's would be nice.

That's why they only used 1 HDMI port!

It might not work so well for quadfire users though, as the second card would be very close to the intake of those fans unless you got some weird board with enormous separation between the PCIe x16 slots.

If you're going to buy two 4870X2's, you might as well spend the extra cash to get them water cooled.
