I dearly hope it won't cost $2.999.999
Nice Gigabyte! It takes considerable time to build a loop with 3 cards, nice to see this as an "AIO" product

2000$-2200$ is a reasonable price for this. Any cent more is not worth it even typing for this subject....

While it is pretty ugly to me as well, I wouldn't mind such a monstrosity to play with.

It is pretty ugly but temps are kinda meh in my opnion. I have a custom setup with AIO on both my 7950s and they only hit 45c under load with a 1200 oc on the core and they sit inside my case.

Whenever I start thinking a bit more seriously about something like this I find the following thought sobering: If this rig would last me, say, ten years, then I could have this rig now and for ten more years, or I could buy a new, single $300 GPU every year for the next ten years for the same money; or buy a new pair of $300 gpus every other year for a decade...or, well--it's not very difficult to talk myself out of it...

I want to know just one thing: Can you leave the ugly box in some dark corner and mount the radiators inside your case ? And how does that perform then ?
Edit: I would run the cards inside a Corsair Graphite 780T with the radiators all at the top position, then the front radiator position for a 280mm AIO solution for an overclocked 5960X.
Edit 2: Well, considering the tubing length it's rather the card radiators for front and CPU top.

Wow. HUGE waste of money. I've never seen 3-way SLI scale very well.

Is there any practical use for this? Or is it "my bank account is bigger than yours'

LoooooooL! Sell a few cheap AIO coolers for thousands of dollars... Profitable to say the least, mostly useless though.
