I'm about to max out my HTPC as I want to use it for HD and games now that the resolution on my projector warrants it.
Ideally I want something in the region of a 9700 pro or higher and I'd like it as quiet as possible without resorting to a watercooling solution.
All the third party cooling add ons I've seen take up an additional PCI slot. This is no good to me as I need to use all 5 PCI slots on my mobo ( sound card , wireless nic , sweetspot and x2 nebulas).
I'd like to exhaust ( pardon the pun) all possibiliites before I resort to watercooling ( although I'm really happy with the reserator on my other machine. ( might go Xice for the HTPC though)
