That looks brilliant!

Not convinced. Never heard of Galaxy, you're going to have to put a fair old amount of airflow through those fins, and the profile and pitch of those fan blades look terrible.
Then again, I'm judging on first impressions, it might turn out to be the greatest thing since cable ties.

I think that is very very very cool! SLi enthusiasts will love it.

Great way to warm up your case on them cold winter nights.
the orange glow effect is nice...or is that the GPU pumping out heat.

What?! They're like the only thing this side of Nvidia that actually innovates! Galaxy's always making awesome products that push various boundraries - usually space related ones, for example their low-profile 9600 GT.

why a gtx 260, work on something newer
gtx 275, 285 or 295
Those GPU's get warm enough on their dual slot coolers though.

Nice profile - looks almost small enough to fit in a laptop!

Is there even a market for slim 260s? No modern mobo that I'm aware of can't cater -- physically -- for two double-slot cards? I guess the argument is that two of these in crossfire will improve case airflow over two normal 260s?
But surely these smaller cards will run hotter? Especially seeing as the fin pitch on the fan looks to be vertical.

This would be good, for me. It would mean I could add a third GTX 260 into my system, since the lowest slot has only enough room for a single slot card.

These would be nice in my m-atx build i could use a wi-fi card and sound card instead of using a usb wi-fi dongle and on board sound
