    Galaxy 8800GT "non-reference" model

    Galaxy are to release an 8800GT with 3-phase power, as opposed to the standard 2 (seen above on the "naked" picture- the missing phase is in the middle.) They have also beefed up the cooler to something with 2 heatpipes. Its not a massive difference, but a welcome one all the same.
