So that's quite something. Check it out:

HIS Radeon HD 5970 2048MB (725c/4000m)
HIS iClear card - for PCie bus signal filtering (guarantees a clearer / clean bus signal)
HIS 7-in-1 Gamers toolkit. Four head Multipurpose screwdriver with LED light and a dust cleaner.
Colin Mc Rae Dirt 2 coupon for the full game
DVI-HDMI converter
DVI-SUBD converter
Molex to 6-pin PEG power cable converter
Molex to 8-pin PEG power cable converter
Mini Displayport converter
Driver CD / Manual

That is quite an extraordinary bundle alright ! Next to the graphics card, the HIS iClear card is a funky addition. Signal noise on the PCie bus might not be a huge issue, but cleaning up signal delivery is always a good thing. Anyway, fantastic bundle -- can't say anything else other than it being positive..
