    Look at the height of the card with that block on it! You'll struggle to fit it in half the cases on the market.

    Way to severely limit your market, Asus.

    Hardly ASUS' fault: the card itself extends way above the PCI backplate, and you need space to get the fittings into the waterblock, so the size is pretty much determined for them. I suspect there are plenty of cases that can take a card that height, given the huge aftermarket air-coolers a lot of people use...!

    I've always wondered how cards like this compare to cards fitted with after market water blocks?
