    two x2's = 1200 dollars. whats another 350 for full cover blocks?

    If 350 is too much, just strap on four mcw60s!

    Actually four MCW60's will fit quite well. But I don't want to hi-jack this thread. so we'll start a new one about the subject matter.

    If I had one or two of those cards, i'd totally do it! I've never been a fan of full cover blocks anyways that end up being useless after you invest in a new card.

    Nothing that a small heatsink and mini-kaze couldn't handle, i'm sure. You could plug the kaze right into the stock cooler pins!

    I like the nickel but do not like the acrylic top on it. Too bad there is not a nickel on with a delrin top. I don't trust acrylic in blocks. Reservoirs sure but not blocks.
