Can someone find out how "quiet" the 8800 cards are for use in a HTPC in a livingroom setup? I doubt we'll see fanless active cooled 0db 8800's I'd like to know if a semi-silent model is available.

i know that some companies are offering a watercooled version of the 8800gtx,albeit at a premium (on an already premium iteam) but if you are interest it should run a fair bit quieter for your htpc

@ John

Do you really need this much 3D power in a HTPC? HTPC usually are on the slower and quieter side of things, so they normally don't make the best gaming rigs. A 7xxx series nvidia or x19__ ATI card should do fine. Or do you just like to spends lots of money? In which case, carry on!

Home Theater PC, but not in a Home Theater? And you are asking about silent running in a living room? How about a real home theater?
