MSI GTX 780 Lightning Edition Pictures Leaked All Over the Web

*facepalm*

An Inspiring hardware enthusiast over at HardwareZone posted some photos of the upcoming MSI GTX 780 Lightning that quickly became one of the most talked about fiascos today.  (not to date btw)

The story started in this thread at HardwareZone with the following, after the fact, comment.

New arrival :

Oh gosh.
I didnt realise there was an nda.
I'm so screwed this time.

Of course anyone with a fetish for awesome hardware will know that the story got picked up all over the place.

Saw this one on Twitter from Overclockers MSI GTX 780 Lightning Edition Pictures Leaked Which had photo credits back to TechPowerUp with a rather lengthly news post.  MSI GeForce GTX 780 Lightning Pictured There is no doubt that TPU has the card already so by posting the news they are breaking NDA, (or at least being bad).  The TPU article had photo credits to WCCFtech who has been known to post NDA stuff like this. Their Story:MSI GeForce GTX 780 LIGHTNING Flagship Graphics Card Unveiled – Equipped With TriFrozr Cooler Talk about a long ass title.

The WCCFtech article had photo credits back to the source at HardwareZone.  Sources close to me confirmed the unique look of the 780 Lightning so I can say, Damn!

I would fully expect some of these links to go dead after a few hours, but you never know.
