I really need to do this too, nice quick work there too. I like black tape :). I have one of Mike's modded psu's, but I do need the duct, modder mesh is a nice idea, I have had the slot open and hate the look and I can hear my maxtor cos it is mounted right below it. It is I guess psu life and air v...

I have done the right things and clean et cetera and come to the conclusion XP sucks. It is slow and cumbersome and I hate it. I will stick with sleek out of date W98SE. :)

So do you Guys/Gals suggest if someone, me, should buy the 9600XT we could disconnect the stock fan and cool it with an 80L at 5 or 12volts?

I think this will go over with hard core gamers as usual and not worry about heat/noise. Not me, I am content to play at lower res and no sound, no sound helps visual framerates and lets me know if someone is breaking in my home to kill me real time. Fabool, me too, waiting for the ATI comeback, I l...

I know the feeling Tobias I so want to go with the 9800, but do not want the nosie and heat with it. I don't plan to jump out and get HL2 & Doom soon - I can be happy with SS UT03 and Rune a while, gawd I hate indecision though, I am worse than a women!

9600 pro vs 9800 pro

I prolly have the money to go either way, but if I get a Ati 9600 fanless or would I be better to go with the 9800 pro with a zalman cooler?

Gaming with Q3, UT2003, Rune & Serious Sam
