hey, i currently have a EK 8800gtx block have an EK295 block on the way.
the 8800 will be kept in the new loop as the phyx thingybob.
just wondering as the loop will first go to the bottem on the 8800 block then to the 295 block, will the 1/4 holes match up????
been looking into either geting the bitsp sli bridge, using a str8 piece of tubing, or 90's and curve the tube so if i change mobo the cards can be raised of lowered in the pci brackets.
whats u think is best?

I'm guessing you'll have to fab up some sort of tubing. Odds are they wont line up.

what is your motherboard?
a loop of tubing running from the top of the 295 to the top of the 8800 block may be in order

or he can use that bitspower funky 90. the one that bends in 2 places and see if he can get the angle he needs to the bottom card?

im still on the nforce 6 series. IN9 32X MAX 680i.
looks like i may choose 2 90degree bitsp barbs and connect the hose in a curved u shape. hoping to get x58 mobo so if the slots are longer or shorter the lose can bend or straighten a bit more.
now i just got to grow a pair of steel balls and redo the loop and mod the hell out of the tj07. :D
thanks for the input dudes.
seen some lush bridge connects or bitsp d-plugs, just have to await the block.

its hard to bridge 2 different cards...
Because the vendors wont put the holes in the same spot.

mmmmm.
i was hoping to go from pump>cpu>240 rad> then the cards, but if connecting them is going to be a pain, is it worth just going pump> cpu> 295> 360 rad> 8800> 240 rad> res?
with the IN9 MAX i cant have the 8800 phyx card on the top slot, and im guessing rooting from cpu to 8800 would be a mess.
