I'm on my easter vacation

Hi readers!
Just one quick note I wanted to add before I go on my vacation
First of all happy easter to all of you and I hope that you'll spend it with your family and friends with tons of drinks and food :-)
Secondly, since I'm going to a trip I won't be able to update my SLI blog page regulary. So there won't be new posts for about 2/3 days.
But I'll catch up with the news in SLI world when I return.

MSI NX8800 GTX OC Liquid - compared to MSI 8800 GTX SLI and others..

Hi people
I've just saw on the internet one great review of MSI's NX8800 GTX OC Liquid card. The cool thing is that you can easily compare results to MSI 8800 GTX SLI cards which where review about two months ago... and also comparision with single 8800 GTX/S models, and Ati's X1950 XTX CrossFire



MSI uses a different water-cooling kit than the Thermaltake based one we saw on ASUS' AquaTank. We're not sure who makes this for MSI but basically, instead of taking up PCI slots, this one fits on the back of your chassis next to the CPU, where you generally install back fans. The good thing about it is that, unlike ASUS, you dont lose any PCI/PCI-E slots. However, the bad thing is that you need a chassis with enough room behind the CPU to install the large radiator/fan combo.
