All you people that say this is a good idea should really know better - of course its a good idea to the average joe but most of us have a lotta household items that can prop a graphics card up with a few minor modifications - obviously the designs n such wont be as refined or look as good as this product - but anyone with a hint of commonsense & some tools can fabricate something that does the same job out of wood, card or possibly plastics (but you may need a mold of some sort for that depending how you go about it) it shouldnt even take 30mins to carve up a small block of wood and use some double sided tape to prop up the graphics card.

I feel terribly juvenile since I giggled at the unfortunate name and accompanying picture.

Ok I'm surprised nobody has said this but what is wrong with just making your own!!! Use a bit of wood or something if you have no skill with tools lol

For example, even my asus HD4850 is really bent on the other end. I can just imagine how other non reference models with heavy heatsinks will bend over time. Therefore this is quite nice idea, but I would apply some double sided tape or other stuff that will keep it at its place. And they should have a crossfire version that clips on the edge of pcb or something like that and is fully adjustable.
