Power of the Orochi and Crossfire - Scythe Orochi with 4x Radeon cards..

Source: Impress
Call it a monstrosity or whatever you like. The demon here in the picture is not the 4x Radeon cards in the casing but this monstrous sized cpu heatsink - Scythe Orochi.
Equipped with 10 heatpipes and weighing 1.285 kilograms , you might have the doubt that one “mis-screwed” screw will just send the entire board to oblivion.
I would love to have such a rig, I bet any PC enthusiast with a good budget would like to own such a system. Be it you are a SLi fan or CrossfireX fan, hell… what matters in the end is the raw performance you get.

Check it out here for the specs of the Orochi.

I would prefer quad-SLI; all of Nvidia’s cards beat ATI’s cards at the moment I believe.
Regardless, quad-SLI and quad-Crossfire are useless =P You’re just gonna get a new card in another two years that’s better than all of those combined.

Lol, that doesn’t even seem really practical despite it being a “monster” cooler. They should’ve watercooled it as it would take less space than that, and is more practical considering water beats air any day.

So does your house shake when turning it on and can you roast a marshmellow by place it near the power supply?
