Koolance Out With GeForce GTX 295, 285 Water Blocks
Expanding your water block options is Koolance, out with water blocks for NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 295 and GeForce GTX 285 graphics accelerators. The blocks by Koolance use nickel-plated copper, acrylic, the block for GTX 295 comes with built-in lighting for better aesthetics. Both blocks are monolithic, full-coverage by design.
The GTX 295 block (model: VID-NX295) measures 20cm x 12cm x 3cm and weighs around 1 kg (2.25 lbs). As with other blocks in its class, the block remains sandwiched between the business-ends of the two PCBs holding a GPU system each. The block for the GTX 285 (model: VID-NX285) measures 15.9cm x 14.6cm x 1.6cm and weighs 680g (around 1.5 lbs). Both blocks come with standard fittings, with fittings for SLI systems being optional and compatible. The Koolance VID-NX295 has started selling for US $159.99 a piece, with the VID-NX285 being priced at $99.99 at the Koolance store.

looks nice
By offering the eye candy with it, that would make me think that this would be the waterblock to chose.
What's wrong with things looking nice?
They have just extended the acrylic that is sandwiched between the two block so it can be seen through the fan hole. I like it.All the VRMs are cooled by this block, what VRMs are they missing?The 285 uses a redesigned PCB, all the RAM chips have been moved to the top of the card. 280 blocks are not compatible.
