They do give off the message of serious business, indeed. ;)

I like.
 
This has probably already been mentioned loads but the port arrangement on the back seems really poor to me, the air is focused to come out of a small space which is surely going to make it noisy. It makes much more sense to me to have the two dvi ports on the bottom (with the card resting on a table, pcb on the bottom) and the two display ports vertical, one above the other. The vent could be almost twice the size then.

"you require one panel with a DisplayPort connector"

PLEASE tell me there is an Display port to DVI converter so i can use my 3 screen??!

There are DVI to DisplayPort active dongles, but being active it's not simply a pass through adapter so they cost a bit. I'd be surprised if they included one.

I would expect that it didn't matter to be honest.

The air would just come out faster out of the smaller vent, aka venturi effect.

The same volume of air would pass through, it would just mean the smaller vent has less air coming through faster due to the narrower passage, the wider vent would have more air coming out slower.

Still if their is less air coming out but also coming out faster than it would with a larger vent it will be as noisy or noisier, also more air will be coming out the other end of the card i.e. back into the case.
 
There will also be 4 DX11 Games before the end of the year:

• Battleforge (EA) - around September/October 2009
• Stalker: Call of Pripyat (GSC) - November 2009
• Dirt 2 (Codemasters)
• Alien vs Predator

And im pretty sure the crytek 3 engine is going to be supporting full DX11 as thats what ATI demoed the cards on.
