----------

1. ive got it down to a silenx or antec true
specifically,
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...103-908&depa=1
or
http://www.silenx.com/productcart/pc...p?idCategory=2 or http://www.silenx.com/productcart/pc...?idCategory=18

i dunno if i can justify spending so much on a silenx psu tho
im asking for reviews, firsthand or second

2. cpu cooler
whats teh difference between copper and pure copper?
im go with this one btw
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduc...118-109&DEPA=1

3. anyone have a gpu cooler?
im looking at this one
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...118-211&depa=1
but i have two concerns:
a. if the weight of the heatsink will bend or even snap the card
i dont think it will or they wouldnt have made the product
b. from what i remember the exhaust fan on the case is right on top of where the agp slot would be
if thats the case would it be pointless to get a fan for the heatsink?
Good shiznit. Your list sounds like my setup :exnbp: Man, just give me your CC and I'll order you up.

1) Silenx is good, but the price is really steep. Antec or Enermax is pretty good too. I run an Enermax and it's quiet, and the volts are stable.

2) Pure copper will dissipate more heat, 'copper' is probably mixed in with other metals (aluminum)

3) I run a GPU cooler, but it's water cooling, Swiftech. I don't think weight is really an issue. And about the cracking of cards, a bit rare, only people that do that is the idiots that throw on the big ones for CPU's....
