You may want to look at Alienware's Wireless HD if you haven't purchased already. Same principle but low latency so you can game on it.

Grab a 6950 and unlock it! You can grab an already unlocked one from the For Sale section usually. That or wait for me to sell one of mine!
You won't be disappointed with the 6950.
Could it handle it? Yes. Would you get braggable temps? No.
Here is what a RX360 looks like sitting on top of a 600T case. Remember mine is behind a TV so it doesn't have to be pretty. :)

The pump is easy to get in, there is ample room. Make sure to put the pump speed dial at the bottom though so you have access to it in the future.
EK Supreme HF is the top choice right now
As I already stated, I think full coverage if you plan on running the cards for awhile. As a user...
I went with this one for my build - http://www.jab-tech.com/XSPC-Acrylic-Dual-5.25-Reservoir-for-Laing-D5-pr-4666.html
Eliminates the need to look for a place to mount it too.
Have to disagree. My 6970's are running at 950 / 1450 with my i7 970 at 4.0GHZ all on my Seasonic x650. Also have 6 DDR3 sticks, 1 water pump, 3x 140mm fans and 2x 120mm fans.
These reviews also state 550w-590 at the wall for system for 6970 crossfire...
Sorry, I didn't take pics before swapping for full coverage EK blocks. I decided a pair of 6970's was going to last a long time so I splurged and went with the full blocks. After seeing the aftermarket for these blocks I figure I can sell for 60-70% of price I paid (less than $90 a piece)...
Looks pretty solid, and very similar to my setup.
I'm running crossfire 6970's in my 600T right now as well with an H70 on the CPU. Something for you to consider, once you remove all the GPU heat from the case your H70 will perform even better than it is right now... Idle on my i7 970 stays...
Just built my first water cooled system with all the case mods and must say it was a fair amount of work. After reading a lot of the reviews on the XSPC kits I chose against the all in one kit and bought piece by piece from Jab-Tech.

Overclocked. Played Civilization V for 4 hours last night and checked the temp history and I spiked over 50c on only 1 core in that period. 4.0GHZ 1.325v
Just ran the Metro benchmark for comparison purposes for you...
Average Framerate: 58.00
Max. Framerate: 227.79
Min. Framerate: 10.17

My update
Looks like water cooling setup error on my end...
Suspected possible PSU issue so I disconnected my WC setup, put the stock cooling back on and tested each card 1 by 1. Both performed flawlessly. Put them both in and enabled Crossfire, working great. Turned WC pump back on...
Same issue here with my Crossfire XFX 6950's. Can play Crysis for 2+ hours and temps not exceed the mid 40's, all components cool to the touch. Fuzzy dots on game boot but none during play. Random dots sometimes during web browsing too.
How do we fix?
Running 2 MCW80's on my crossfire 6950's right now.
Tip - Use the included Geforce 200 kit screws to fasten the backplate back on (backplate screws into oem cooler and you have to remove to install the MCW80)
This.
I picked up 2 XFX 6950's and both unlocked no issues. OC'ed them a little with 0 issues. One warning would be to check your PCIE spacing. I swapped from a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R to an MSI Big Bang due to increased spacing between 16x slots. On the Gigabyte board there was 0 space in...
According to most of these how to guides, no!
I'm still waiting to see which card comes out as the best card to unlock! Looks too easy, I'm guessing these will be laser cut in the near future...
Owner of 256gb C300, 50gb Vertex LE and 256gb Samsung PM800 drives here... You will likely not notice any difference in these drives in most real world use. The main difference is in benchmarks. Now if I were transferring many GB's at once the C300 375mb transfer rate would kill the 220mb...
Sounds like I run the exact setup that you are interested in. I run the P55A-UD3 with a C300 in 6 SATA III mode as well as a 5870.
I read this article here - http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/HD_5870_PCI-Express_Scaling - that outlines about a 2% decrease when running a 5870 in 8x...
$659 before Bing at Tiger Direct
$679 at Newegg right now, so this is a good deal at $100 cheaper if you can wait the 60 days for your cashback (easier than a rebate!). For me in CA where tax is charged by ZZF and Newegg I save another $50.
$659.99
-$81.18 cashback
$578.81 (and no tax...
UPDATE - For those plagued by the whine in the video it may be caused by your power supply!!! I installed my new Seasonic X750 today and the whine under load issue is GONE.
I stopped the fan on card 1 and 2 and still have the whine. Will know Tuesday when my PSU arrives if this is power supply related. Thanks for the idea though.
V8 was added after the fact, so I have eliminated that. Good question though. Same sound when the OEM Intel fan was installed.
Also to note that 5870 #1 was a Gigabyte and not XFX, but I think they are both standard reference design cards.
Spoke to XFX tech support today and they said it's...
Solved 4/13 - For those plagued by the whine in the video it may be caused by your power supply!!! I installed my new Seasonic X750 today and the whine under load issue is GONE.
This is driving my nuts. At idle and basic graphics processing the card is silent. As soon I load a game where...
