You could always replace the fan with a Zalman VGA cooler, that would save you a lot of money, since the card you have now is still pretty high end.

This will be interesting to see. The icon on my Seasonic S12 box says 22dBA, although SPCR's review finds it lower at <200 watts.

I'm a relatively new member, but I've been lurking here for a while. I found this place after purchasing an amazingly loud, vibrating, whining, screaming, etc Western Digital 250GB hard drive.
