This is what it looks like once it comes off.
Now we can clearly see what is actually on the card. The first thing you see is the GPU, which in this case is the new 40nm chip codenamed cypress. Incidentally you find the same chip on the HD5850 card, albeit in a toned down edition.
If we turn the card around once, we can see that the cover serves no greater function than to enhance the design. There are no RAM chips or anything at the rear that needs to be cooled.
As noted already, the card is very long. To give you an idea of just how long, here it is along with an ATI HD5770.
