im wondering how many people will actually get the triple sli thing. good thing ati's 3rd card is suppossedly suppossed to be a physics card that also processes stuff for the gpus, so its like a multipurpose assistant.

no, just box in the video card area like a psu is enclosed then have one large fan blowing through and accross as many cards as you want to use. in the same sort of way a fan pulls air over heatsinks in a psu.

because of clearances and size there wont be any way to use the gpu coolers we have now and the stock coolers wont work that close together.

ATI has been touting triple crossfire for sometime now, Nvidia is just late to the party.

I think its awesome, yes. I also think its overkill, overly expensive and I think there will be no need to overclock at all with all them gpus, it would be plainly stupid to do so.
