Does anyone have any idea when or where I'll be able to pick up a swiftech 5850 heatsink for the MCW60 block? I'm holding off on buying the rest of my water cooling stuff until its available.

maybe this is a stupid question but why not just use a full block?

Better value in the long run, MCW60 can most likely be re-used on future cards, all you'll need is another heat sink block which is less than a new FC block.

Yeah thats why I'm doing it. I'm hesitant to pick this up from ebay. According to swiftech the reason none of the etailers have them yet is because they still haven't shipped them out. Also spending 15 dollars for shipping a 30 dollar item seems absurd. Sadly Jab-tech won't be carrying them.:(
