OK, so im looking at 2 solutions...

One is an EK setup:
EK-FC680 GTX+ - Nickel
and backplate
$144 total

Other setup is with Bitspower:
Comes with EVERYTHING (even backplate) VG-NGTX680 Acrylic Top
$160 kit.

Im not worried about the little difference in price, Im looking to get the better of the 2. I like the looks of both, (more so the EK setup) anyone have good / bad experience with them?

Any recommendations?
Thank you
 
The one which isn't EK? Even ignoring their junky nickel they never seem of the highest quality, and aren't very...pretty...
 
what do you think about the Bitspower setup? specifically the heat dissipation fins for the GPU... are they not a bit big? does not seem like it would be all that effective, or am I wrong?

It's actually pretty effective. After the whole EK nickel crisis, I would steer away from them. They really did not help customers much when the nickel plating starting coming off.
 
Ok, no EK for me. Other then the Bits Power... any others to recommend that is close in price?
 
Heatkiller and Aquacomputer are two good ones.
 
Koolance block is another good one and most backplates will fit with it.
