a card that reduces the noise of a video card, supposedly.

Intresting product albeit quite useless for regular PC user. HTPC users might have some use for that... And its might... But still if its not expensive, peoples with side window can have pretty intresting PCI-E 1x filler...

Well, I think they're talking about signal noise, rather than the audible variety. : )

And it's not exactly inexpensive either. $80 at Newegg for something that claims to improve signal to noise ratio by less than 10%. I would think that money might be better put toward getting a higher end tuner card or other components.

comes for free with one of them new 4850s... that's where i stumbled across that, too, wondering what it is, and how it could possibly work

Strange that they would make it full height when it's targeting the HTPC market.

Not that anything about this product makes much sense. Is noise such a rampant problem that a 10% reduction would make the experience $80 more enjoyable?

i wouldn't even pay 80$ for 10% reduction in power usage or 10% more fps (which is really the measure for anything in vga).. so what the..?
