wonder how much?

The clocks look about average for a factory water-cooled 1080, some of these are priced in the low-700s, others in the high-700s, so this shouldn't be any more than $800, then again, that does look like a plate that could be attached to a more heavy-duty setup, so that'll probably raise the price.

I have the Gigabyte water-cooled 1080 and it's strong, I would love to see more reviews of these types of cards so I can get a good idea of how far they can be pushed.

That's a custom (blinged out) ek fullcover block and backplate in loop with their Predator 120 kit. This setup will be ridiculously over priced. Just watch.

Sure does look like a beautiful piece. My guess, $780?

Strange that there's no photos of the block lit up. If they're going to tout RGB lighting they should show an example.

Uh... what?

You are a lot more comfortable because your wallet in your back pocket is bow empty and easier to sit on.

167mm tall, and that's without clearance for the hoses, going to be an issue for all but the widest of cases.
