High End Silent Cooling For Graphics Cards

SpinnerBait writes "With all the competition these days in the 3D Accelerator market, Graphics Card OEMs are doing anything they can to differentiate their products in a sea of competitive solutions. Recently board designs are getting even more exotic, with brightly colored PCBs, high end heat sink and fan combinations and even flashing lights for the case modders out there. However, a relatively new trend is Quiet Computing. HotHardware has an article up that showcases two new Radeon 9600 Pro and 9800 Pro cards from Sapphire Tech, that have rather impressive fanless coolers on them that are virtually silent. Great stuff for those of you gaming in the library."

Why would I want to make LESS noise?

I dig the loud PC. I start the thing up and it sounds like one of those backpack leaf blowers.

I am not an apple user however I know alot of musicians and sound/vid people that are.
PC hardware sucks! Even some of the high end stuff is crap, the motherboard, case, power supplies, and generally every component made for pc are cheap crap. Vid cards that are proprietary to the PC are the same. I use a (P)iece of (C)rap myself, and spend my sound dollars on real recording equipment, good mics mixers and 24/96 dat. I use a PC only for MS office and Linux, it is useless for anything else.
