The faster a fan spins the easier it is to see through it. Also that pic could be a result of shutter speed of the cam, ive taken pics of my system running and you would think the fans were static in the image when they weren't.

Your right my mistake, but surely you would be able to see the board through the whole thing then, and not just through a little gap on the right like it is there.

Its possible the fans setup like it is in the gtx 295 with a semi circle cut out of the pcb to allow the card to intake air, behind that the pcb is whole again so you can't see through.

Yeah probably, i can't see them saying they showing a working card running a benchmark, but its actually not switched on, as not plugged in or nowt, and they really got a hidden setup with a card in behind everything out of the way thats running. :p

3dfx were known to do that in the past, one time they showed the 6000 it was actually a system behind the scenes running the game they were demoing. :p

means nothing, of course you can see through a fan while it is spinning.

And dependning on the fan speed and exposure time ta photo may easily show the fan as static. Indeed, just ask anyone in the photography forum how they achieve photos of rotor planes with the appearance of the rotor spinning - a very tricky business.
 
Nobody seems to have spotted the Microsoft Mouse and Random Keyboard which is hiding behind the Dell Screen (bottom left of the photo)

For all we know that might be a second computer running a Radeon 5870 feeding the Dell monitor ;)
