    The 7900 GTX is very quiet. It's pretty much inaudible over an Intel stock cooler.

    I'm wondering if it's that Asus card with the weird heatsink arm thingy?

    I've had weak deltas that were inaudible over that damn intel stock cooler

    Just get a CHEAP 7800GTX, and an accelerado cooler :D

    The 7900 GTX cooler is probably the best video card cooler on the market at the moment, IMO. The X1950XTX cooler is also pretty good, btw.
