Oooo...OK, I kinda like this thing, apart from the fact that it is HUGE!! from the photos I would be afraid that it would bend my PCI mount thing at the front from all it's weight! I like this thing, but it is just too big for me.

lol it wont bend anything... unless you shake the hell out of your computer case, then it might :P

As long as your vid card is screwed to the case I doubt anyhting is gonna break.

I love the thing, but I only wish it had RAM sinks, though those aren't exactly expensive, they really could have added them. Would be best if the sinks could be connected straight to the base, but there would have to be an absurd number of models for them to have full compatibilty across the baord.

yeah... if you don't have a top of the line video card, you don't really need them anyway..
