Here's the card I was also looking for:

Spectrum · Feb 25, 2011

Somebody beat me to this one, But I found a better picture..

Either that, (The GTX 570 Phantom) Or the Reference GTX 285;

The Phantom looks awesome, and I had a 285, and really liked the look of the cooler.

Spectrum · Feb 25, 2011

and of course... the unbeatably beautiful... ATI Mach 8

HammerON · Feb 25, 2011

How about dual 580's with Koolance water blocks?

Spectrum · Feb 25, 2011

the evga hydrocopper 2 gtx 580 looks nice too

It's those vertically mounted plug-in RAMs and the two big chips that just scream powwaa!!! :rockout:

Oh and post 333. Just had to have it.

Spectrum · Feb 26, 2011

How about my current card, the Asus EAH6870;

I like how asus keep stickers and stuff to a minimum, it's less tacky that way.
Matte aluminium with a small shiny asus logo in the bottom corner is quite nice.

An oldie but a sweet one: the Gigabyte 3D1 6600GT dual GPU

ShogoXT · Feb 26, 2011

I actually had one of those for a while a long time ago to run old Glide games. Also had a Canopus Pure3D 2. My obsidian 2 didnt have that fan though.

Reference AMD 4770

OK. dude.. That video card gave me a stiffy and im a Nvidea fan boy

Jan Kyster · Apr 1, 2011

got a fine offer yesterday, couldn't resist and now my "old" 5970 has a new companion...

Only problem is... you can't mount them side-by-side, as the fans are too thick...

Crazykenny · Apr 1, 2011

Nah, I have a complete EK water cooling kit for cpu, mb and 5970. :rockout:

Have asked my HW-dealer for an EK block for the 5870, but if not succesful, I'll leave that on air. These Arctic Coolers are very effective.

This IS AWESOME (not Sparta)

Also like MSI Golden Edition, although the fans (and PCI bracket) could also have been painted/coated in "gold":

Also, the Evga HCE2 is nice clean/sleek:
