A quiet cooler isn't that expensive; of course the graphics card that generates less heat regardless of cooler is a better choice.
Less heat = less cooling required = less noise = more music heard!

You have an HR-03 on the 76?! Haha, that's awesome. I'm actually selling my GTX for a pair of GT's. It's a small pain as the board will have to be swapped too, but I must have my Crysis. My only concerns are high load temps (90's), crappy stock fan that's going to unload the heat in my case, and of course a severe drop in memory bandwidth/size. W/ Crysis cranked, it used more than 512MB. Then again adding another GTX would be too costly/pain as it would mean new psu, another HR-03, and a bunch more heat.

EDIT: Oh yes, the complete lack of an EVGA for under $300 kinda sucks too.

Nvidia really screwed all the people who waited out on the GTS 640 a bit. It's not really worth it for me to switch over from my GTS 640 to the newer faster cheaper GT, the performance increase is minimal, since I don't run Vista yet.

Well, I've got a few days left to decide before my step up program runs out.

but yeah - until the new 512mb and 1024mb GTS cards come out, the GT is king of the hill.

Considering you paid more for the 640, will the step up "refund" some cash? And you're only allowed 1 step, up, right? I'll be snagging the 2 88GT's w/ hopes of stepping up to the G90 if it's released within 90 days. Also, do you know if the motherboard's qualify. I may wanna run TRISLI w/ the 790i.

step up doesn't refund at all ever. I'd just hafta pay shipping to do the step up, and buy an interim card from bestbuy (then return it of course)

I believe motherboards qualify. But why do trisli?

It started off as an Ark, but the two tigers in the photo keep eating all the other animals.

I should mention that the computer in the photo has a 200 Disc DVD changer that is run via firewire. I ran the firewire into a separate room because the changer is so big that it will not fit on the rack. The great thing about the setup is that the changer allows batch mode burning of CDs, so I was able to burn my 1300+ CDs to my computer in a couple of weeks at night while I slept.

Here is a photo:

Here are some interior pics of my thing... I built it literally to be dead silent - even now the only way I can tell it's on is from the light at the front. The loudest part by far is the WD500gb hdd and that isn't exactly loud

I apologise for my terrible photos - N73 + under table = UGH

Using the P180B as it was supposed to - completely passive Scythe ninja - rear fan (Noctua 120-800, throttled to 7v) blows in, top out


You can see the whole case here - psu is a seasonic S12-550w - dead silent - front intake is another noctua fan - 8800GTS/E6600/2gigs Corsair XMS

Oh and you can see my INCREDIBLY dusty M-Audio Audiophile192


Here is a terrible desktop pic - note 12 year old keyboard

Haha, yeah I cannot get over the quality of this keyboard tho - no fade, no reduction in typing "niceness" after a good 10 years - not like this crap they churn out now that has fading keys after 6 months

And it's really really loud lol.

I used the UltraX for over 2 years and now I'm on the MS. They're quick 'n' quiet typers for under $20 bucks. I wish the cords were longer tho.

MS Comfort Curve 2000

Logitech UltraX

here's me:


I know you are all probably shaking your head at the stereo. Honestly the only thing I don't really like about it is the massive footprint.

here's my listening area. I seem to have snapped the shot just as the displays were going to sleep.



This is a 90 degree turn to the left, where most 'phones live, amongst the social theory. Can you pick the book that doesn't belong?




A nicer shot, more like what I see as I sit.



What my deck keyboard looks like after some bourbon. How everything else is in focus, I have no idea.
