    That long? It was looking like a couple companies already had some blocks completed.

    Aquatuning has the Heatkiller for preorder. You could always go GPU only and use a Swiftech MCW82 or the EK GPU only block.

    Nice, I have Heatkiller blocks right now on my 6970's. They perform great and the quality is excellent too. Wouldn't mind going with them again.

    Not sure, really not much to build log. I might give it a shot at writing a small review on whatever waterblocks I get. *hint hint*

    Sweet, let us know how overclocking them monsters on water will be like. Also, if you could, could you do some power draw figures? I'm still wondering if running 2-3 cards on a 1000W would be doable with heavily overclocked CPU's. I will most likely have to go dual PSU for 4 cards though. hmmm.

    Yeah, I was eyeing those. They look really nice. What size connectors would I need for two slot spacing? IE: gpu -> empty slot -> gpu -> empty slot -> gpu. Just the regular stacked two slot cards really. Mostly currious if the connectors I have now would be the right length for your blocks too.

    That block would cost outrageous amounts amounts of money more than likely.

    Just got my hd 7970 yesterday, and I had forgotten how stock coolers sound. So far I'm eying the clear top EK, but we'll see what comes out in the next few weeks.
