The ability to run a silent (well, quiet at least) computer has some benefit as well. You also might want to look into the Zalman Video Card Heatpipe Heatsinks (also at NewEgg) which can silence any video card that's not TOO hot. Buy one of those and a regular cheapie 9800 and you're all set. And then you can re-use the heatsink when you upgrade to the next latest, greatest thing....
