Judging the image it looks like they are hiding a toolbox. Yeah ... that's probably it. :P

Common guesses seem to be a Zalman cooled 9800 Pro, which certainly fits with the size and the captions.

Could also be a Zalman cooled 9800 Pro with 256MB and higher clock speeds, though. I'd hope it would be with such fanfare, but I'm not quite representative of the silent PC demographic, I think.

Hmm...I'm not sure I want to be around when micron and Tahir see this...so, I'll just post the info and run while covering my eyes...

It looks like it is a 256MB 9800 Pro with silent cooling after all, though whether it is the rumored 256MB 9800 Pro remains unclear.

From Rage3D (from ben6):

Sapphire's page, without any obvious further specifics.

Box Shot.

And, it would also appear, a 9600 Pro Ultimate as well:

This will be the one for me! Assuming it fits in a Shuttle SFF PC, of course.
