They aren't that much.. about as expensive as my 8800 GTX was over a year ago. I'm hoping to get the EVGA one - they are built for water cooling with water block already on them - I'd like to make my whole computer water cooled - the amount of noise it makes right now is making it dificult to sleep
I have an Antac P180 case with 2x9600gt's in it & the power connectors are hard up against the front HDD's in the front bays.I had to undo the screws & pivot the drives up to plug the cards in.
If these are any longer they must be huge.
