You know what I mean. It never hurts to borrow ideas if they work.

No no no, that was in reply to RyGuy's post!

Nice design

RyGuy

I was talking about just for the 7800GS mostly. I like designing stuff just for fun.

Burn

I was kidding. I already found 90 deg. fittings to make it work.

Ahhh...it's too early...wait...where am I? :withstupi

RyGuy

I just sent Burn a couple pictures of the design I just made, we will see what he thinks. I made a bottom piece that should accomodate the core of just about any block and all that would need to be changed to make it compatible with other cards would be the top plate where the mounting holes are. Even 2-hole mounting comfigurations should work because of the small size of the actual block, it would just be mounted perpendicular to the holes. I will go make a design for a 9800PRO and see if it works, that has a 2-hole config, and they are pretty close together as well.

EDIT: Yes, it fits nicely, now all we need to know is if that design cools the card well!

Burn

That design looks VERY crafty, it must've taken you a long time to figure that one out. I like the way it looks, it's got a very good concept going for it. I just PMed RyGuy back about it, and hopefully we can see a revision in a couple minutes.

Very nice job RyGuy!

OK, I made the change, but it looks super crappy now.
EDIT: I reduced the crappyness and it should still work. I really like this block design.

Burn

I've toyed around with the design for a while now, it does look very nice.
