*/"Visiting one of the many manufacturers here in stormy Taipei, we just
happened to stumble across this little number sitting on the side. A few
shots later (why is it the most important ones always have the most
blur?) and we decided to ask around as to its story.

Apparently, it's a dummy sample direct from the double-A team, which the
companies use to get the basic gist of what they need for artwork and
branding, and so that they can start working on their own cooling
solutions.

Said company remained exceptionally tight lipped (like a well trained
terrier) about the details of the card, and we didn't have time to whip
out the screwdriver to see underneath. Check the (overly zoomed) picture
right to see that it's the RV770 all right!"
