Well I'm not in Seattle, but I do pine for my gpu block.

My credit card was charged on march 4th for a swiftech block, and I still don't have it. That's so long in computer days that I've already upgraded video cards. ;-). Now I need a different gpu adapter. Anyway, they say it's swiftech's fault and that they're not delivering.

On another note, the nvidia 6800 (nu) I got is sweet. I overclocked the bejezus out of it while benching hard, and it raised the temp of my case (according to the diode) from 38 to 51C! The friggin gpu read 75C which just freaks me out, but it's supposedly well within tolerances. I'm not sure any of that is right (that means a case hotter than my cpu), but it did feel like the whole damn room got noticably hotter. That thing pumps out some serious heat.
