these high power graphics card are so damn power hungry, next thing it'll be 3 molex power plugs needed to juice these baby up...

and at this rate, there's really no hope for fanless cards for the home theater pc crowd anymore
but of course, wdtv live and xtreamers are good substitutes for htpc anyway....

 ;D  Hi you lot. Made a few more changes to my rig.

Mobo---Gigabyte  X58A-UD3R rev 2
Graphics---- Sapphire HD 5850

The graphic card is very quiet even under load, OC`s very well. It is actually priced more than the 5870 (which is what I wanted)
Still even when overclocked to 840/1080MHz core/mem. it still comes up short by 10/20% of the 2 x HD4890`s in crossfire. The graphics are very slightly sharper, and I will get another one when the price drops.
There will be many changes early 2011 but I am more than happy with the intel 58 chip and i7 processors. for now.
Billy, dont forget my xmas momey >:D
cheers
