Sweet mother of bob! Thats just insane! I'm really glad that I built my pc to cater for dual psu as really you are going to need it. I'll be splitting the cpu/mobo and gfx cards on different psu's at this rate.

With the amount of heat they are going to kick out.... watercooling really isn't going to be an option, unless you want your pc sounding like a turbine.

I think buying the cards now is rather silly, like all the people who brought the dx9 cards before we had any dx9 games. I will hold off for the moment and wait until there are some dx10 games that require the cards.

edit: my guess about the watercooling seems to be correct as they are already shipping a version with watercooling pre-installed.
