This is somewhat theoretical, somewhat practical, and definetely very cool if it can be done. I have a new SLI setup with an A8N-SLI and 2 BFG 6800GT PCIes but have not yet set them up (waiting for the long weekend in just a few days) and I am almost positive it is going to be louder than heck. I hate listening to my computer already (I have a T-bird 1.4 and the fan sounds like an airline jet). So would it be difficult to setup an SLI watercooled rig? I was looking at perhaps two DangerDen NV-68 waterblocks for the cards and a TDX for the FX-55. One thing that keeps holding me back, though, is the fact that my warranties will be no more.
 
It's all about the money. Your looking at $250+ just for the waterblocks after tax and shipping costs. I'd wait a bit longer until more blocks are out, since the current prices are inflated due to availability.
 
Dangerden has just released (1-2 days ago) a revised Maze4 block that will fit on 6800s. This block cost $40USD and as far as im concerned does a very good job with cooling. Just get some ramsinks for the ram (who needs to watercool the video ram anyways?), $125 for a block was just out of the question before, so i'm glad they released a 6800 friendly Maze4
 
or you could go the mcw50 route + adapter. but teh maze4 for 40 seems to be a good deal.
