By jove I've got it!!!
I'm going to get two and seal them in a vacuum chamber - run off the heat pipes into a water tank and boil the water. The water will boil off into steam which i'll push through pipes to create pressure to turn a generator and create power from it - which i can then use to power my cards.....

I wouldn't be surprise if these cost 2k each and came standard with a LN2 pot. Or cost 3k each for the card and a freon compressor. Or cost some ridiculousness amount, take up 3 slots and has as much silver/copper/fans that the PCB can hold.

This card might stay on top of the performance pile for a long while actually, since I don't believe there will be any die shrinks till deep into next year, just attempts at making the current stuff more efficient.

honestly tho i can't see there being a problem with putting stock waterblocks on them. I can see em going for $1299-1499, and at that price its not enthusiasts that'll be getting em but extremists. And probly same scenario of only 1000 being made, won't have a problem selling them.

This thing could heat a small apartment. It actually wouldn't be that bad of a purchase if you would use it to heat your pad and I'm not joking. You could run some nice duct-work out the back of your case.
