Swiftech to release Full Cover for Radeon HD6970

[gabe]

I think that sticker is a great compromise.

Maybe another thought for the next run of water cooling blocks is some sort of plastic cover to cover up the screws instead of a sticker? I know it would add to cost, but maybe people would prefer that as it would be one solid flowing piece.

I decided to do the sticker for two reasons:

1. the great success encountered by the EVGA design (for the record, while the sticker was my suggestion, the graphic design was theirs, and it shows, as they have a team of professional graphic designers..)
2. the perceived necessity to hide screw holes

Even the original sticker looks very good on the block when you see the real thing. It gives it a very clean professional appearance.

TBH, I am also a little tired of the techno look, and the sticker opens up all kind of creative ideas. The key is to do something that will stay in tune with the public taste. It's a challenge, but it's doable if I manage to hook up with some good creative ppl...

Note: removing the sticker is not too difficult and if you are careful, you can even put it back nice and clean.
