Water-Cooled ATI X2900 XTX Video Card Pictured
VR-Zone brings us a picture from the water cooled version of the ATI R600 video card. The water cooling solution is probably provided by Aavid Thermalloy and coincidentally Aavid is preparing their Turbo Tube cold plates for mass production in May, same time as R600 launch. ATI's AIB partners can choose to use it, design their own or use a 3rd party water-cooler from Thermaltake.

But if its an affordable system to put on the card and doesnt increase the retail price too much compared to the traditional air system I think it would probably sell pretty well, looks like it will provide pretty respectable cooling.
It's just like buying a nice set of alloy wheels, then shopping for a car that will match the stud pattern of the wheels.
The R600 should be out late last year but AMD/ATI didn't make it. Anyway, this card is surely a fine one even considered the very high power consumption (around 200W under load) and the long time one have already been waiting for it.
