Greg Lindahl, you are a bad man.

I bought one of these lovely heatsink cooled cards from a shop in
Tottenham Court Road today:

Sadly it looked like the heatsink on the rear would not fit in beside 
the CPU cooler on my new Sun Ultra 20 (polishes nails on non-existent 
lapel).
Raced back to the shop (YoYoTech) who replaced it with an Asus card.
Less cool as it has a fan (pun intended).


I just have this bizarre image of the entirety of th Beowulf list 
suddenly donning baggy jeans and carrying skateboards so we can discuss 
the latest graphics cards. Dude.
