    Are the drill bits and their box part of the card or just to prop it up?

    NO WAY!

    I knew i was happy with my effort, and felt i'd come up with something worthy of a shot at winning, but never did i think i actually would.

    A huge thanks to all at Hexus and the lovely peeps at Asus, you guys always do some amazing competitions, didn't think they could get much better. Guess i was wrong because this one just got a lot better in the last couple hours.


    I never noticed how bad the grammar was in the answer before i posted it, but then i was struggling to stay within the character limit, and i'd already cut down on the amount of picture links.

    Once again a huge thanks from me.

    Is one of them a 6600 under all that stuff? Seeing the blue board and the Zalman brought back memories...

    The screwdriver set is there purely for photographic purposes to keep it balanced, it was the closest appropriately size item to hand in the sterile lab environment. We don't foresee the balance being a problem as the card obviously wont be orientated in that way in a pc case without being screwed in.

    It is indeed, an Nvidia XFX 6600gs, the other card is an ATI 9600, so with our patented SliFire design we've managed to harness all of the technologies of each of the graphics companies in one neat package, all of the benefits with none of the drawbacks. Want cuda? You got it! Don't want excessive power consumptions? You got it! The Monstrosity truely is the card of the future.

    Ahh I was hoping the card would be able to function somewhat like a big daddy guarding the other components of the PC while doing it's normal jobs.

    I think you should get a little glass box for the monstrosity card and use the box as a monitor stand.
