BFG 8800GTS factory watercooled.

[Synomenon]

I'd like to get this BFG 8800GTS:

since it has a single slot cooler. What else would I need to purchase to get the water cooled setup working? Would whatever else I need fit in a 3.5" drive bay?

I'm guessing *no*, but you will find better advice on watercooling in the Cases & Cooling forum.

That's awfully expensive for a 640 MB GTS. If you think about it, you are paying a $175 premium for a water block that can't possibly be that expensive. Maybe you should do a search for that card and see if you can find a good block for much less.

And like I said, the people in the other forum will likely be able to help you with that, too.

Buy card and block separate.

You could buy two regular cards and SLI them for $65 more...

I could buy two regular cards for $65 more, but I still wouldn't be able to use either of them. Did I forget to mention that it has to have a single slot cooler?

My motherboard has one PCIe x16 slot and one PCI slot. I have a TV Tuner card in the PCI slot. If I got a video card with a giant dual slot heatsink / cooler, it would block that PCI slot.

Not everyone wants to own a gigantic tower.
