1. Thank you for your continued editorial content regarding passively cooled graphics cards; the new few months should provide HTPC/Silent PC enthusiasts with several interesting options.

I'm sure I am not the only one however, who would be interested to hear how 'deep' the heatpipes are on these passive boards, i.e. to what extent the rear-side neighbouring PCI slot is blocked - a configuration often used with SFF systems. I recall seeing an XFX Geforce product that appeared to use a single-slot, single-sided passive cooling solution that would be ideal; allowing a PCI sound card to be used together with a high-end silent graphics solution.

So, do any X-bit Labs staff members have photographs of the rear of these cards?

Thanks again,
James
