The Zalman branded GPU cooler is quite compact but does take up a 2nd slot in height. There are two heat pipes going from the base to the out edges of the black heatsink.
The 8800 GT takes power from the PCI Express slot but also requires an extra power connection straight from the PSU, as is now standard with PCI Express cards, a 6-pin connection is present at the rear of the card.
Installed inside a system the card takes up two slots as expected, with enough room to install two of them in SLI if desired.
