- I've never understood quite understood why people are concerned with what a card looks like. I've seen cards that have graphics on the fan shrouds and heat sinks! What's that for? Who's ever going to see it once it's put in the computer (even if you have a window in your case, you won't see the graphics most likely)?

- A lot of people mod cases, so the looks of the card might be important. Personally I have a case that isn't very deep, so large cards might interfere with my hard drives. That's why it's good to know what size a card is before it's released so I can plan ahead.

- can wait for the X800 market price to fall, sort of like the 9800pro to XT price drop

As reported, ATI R520 graphics card is not as compact as the company’s RADEON X800-series products, but is relatively long, about the same size or longer compared to NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX products. The voltage regulator design of what is allegedly the R520 XT-powered graphics card is much more complex compared to that of the RADEON X850 XT products, it involves a lot of load-bearing elements some of which require passive cooling.
