I like the back of the pcb location facing the front of the case. But with cable management in mind i dont know why they dont face them down and put the plugs on the mother board side of the case. Instead of having the cables Reach across the card. or put the ones that you see on the standard 5870 on the opposing side of the card back to the other side of the case. lining up with the motherboard. it think it would be better for cooling and cable management
Wonderful cards, love the casing. Wish I had the $$$ to grab these over two 5850s. I purchased the ones from XFX since they seem to me, more reliable. I love the simplicity of them too. And the black and red match the black and red of Dominator GT series memory.
