    What's that coming over the hill?

    This one obviously gets hot, hence all those cooling fins... but what the hell is it?
    Watch the show.

    Looks like it could be the BFG water cooled GTX 280, getting ready for a HEXUS review

    I don't think it's water cooled, I didn't see the connections for that. Definitely a graphics card with a custom cooler though.

    Looks like a passive cooler to me. No idea what card though...

    Is it a heatsink

    Looks like the heatpiping for an upcoming motherboard.

    EDIT: Whoops, had another look at the vid. Didn't notice that PCI Bracket thingy.
    Probably a heatpiped video card, might be a derivative of the 200 GTX series or the upcoming 4870.

    Last edited by Quantum-M; 19-06-2008 at 09:37 PM. Reason: My mistake, was not a mobo because of PCI bracket.
