Your loop must be just as sexy as those cards! I loved looking at my loop, too bad I didn't have gpu blocks or NB/Mosfet blocks cooled.

sexiest graphic card

what is the most sexiest looking card ever(not talk about performance!) from heatsink to PCB layout and quality and power control unit..but the most important is the look the best design feature!

for some reason the current graphic card are tend to be 2 slot heavy/chunk/heavy heatsink and ugly looking and it rare to find single slot or 2 slot but better looking card nowadays...

this might be the best looking card so far.....far better than these chunky gtx460...
