295 H2Oc

First I want to say this card looks amazing.

I am really interested in the 295 with no hassle watercooling which is something I have been always looking for. I am currently in the prosess of purchasing parts for a new build. I was reading the specifications on the newegg website that it requires a 2inch clearance for the radiator etc. Now the only pictures I have seen with this card installed was on the guru3d. I am trying to figure our which CPU cooler and case combination will work for this product. In the guru review they had water CPU cooling so that was no help. The radiator looked like it was covering up 2 of the brackets for the hsaf. I was looking at the haf 932 for the case or antec 902. The 932 has a 140mm exhaust fan but the GC fan us 120mm. I guess I could mod it to fit. I don't think the 902 will be big enough as the card is 11.5 inches long. What CPU heatsink and fan and case is going to work with this card thx!!!

I guess I'll throw one more in. I don't have $849 and I'm not willing on spending that much for a new one so I was looking at the open box version on neweeg. It's only $609 which is a good savings. Is it worth it getting the open box? I don't want to get a pos card and I know I'm taking a chance. does bfg still have a manufacture warranty even though it's open box. This card is hellashish expensive so I think it would.

Some sellers will provide a warranty and others will not, I personally would not spend that much$ on anything without a warranty.
