I just found this while surfing the web and thought you guys might like to know about it. Gabe from swiftech posted this on XtremeSystem Forums. I'm just posting the shopping list for what you need if you want to watercool your 4870x2 and you don't feel like waiting for swiftech to release their specialty screws, which are basically an easier alternative to this but ultimately the same thing. Read the whole post and he tells you how to cool your card's mosfets and ram.

For testing purposes, we found it possible to buy off-the-shelf hardware to install the 60 (original or rev 2 doesn't matter) on the 4870X2. the final hardware that we will release will be customized to ease the assembly for the average user, but for those of you who cannot wait until we come out with this mounting pack, here is the shopping list.
(4) 2-56 x 7/8" socket head cap screws
(4) 2-56 nuts
(4) #2 x 3/16 OD washer
(4) 2-56 thumb nuts
(4) pcs 0.250" long of insulation stripped from 12 AWG electrical wire
note1: 2-56 screws are necessary to be able to re-use the ATI GPU braces (highly recomended)
note 2: insulation is needed to center the screw in the water-block holes
all the hardware is available at www.mcmaster.com
