DMS59 is a single plug letting users plug in an adapter to split it into 2 or even 3 outputs. ATI and NVIDIA used this for a short amount of time, a few years back without much success, but it seems now, that low profile graphic cards may need 2 outputs but do not have the space needed, the output is back again. GeCube will be showing of its first offering, a low profile X1600 Pro, at CeBit. Very nice, now we need a mATX Crossfire mainboard, and 2 of these cards and we are set for a sweet LAN Party PC.

That cooler doesn't look too functional.

a good idea would be to make the cable that connects to the DMS59 plus on the card a bit longer, about a meter long, and have a vivo style connector box on your desktop, so you can plug several monitors, have the TV out and video in connectors on your desktop insted of having to bend down behind the computer. then again, you have to check how the extra length affects the signal quality,

That cooler doesn't look too functional.

its meant to be a small-form-factor and HTPC card... its not supposed to be big...

and its kinda hard to fit a massive cooler on a card that's half the size (if not less) of some of the other cards out there, you know...
