Colors in cod4 seemed to be more vivid with my dvi cable than the vga, and had a better look to the game overall. On the other hand, it put too much detail into normal images outside of games. Color transitions, or fading, are more rough rather than smooth.

Size is also a matter with these cords. www.dvigear.com for an explanation. They sell cords, but pricey.

I will kill your monster.

Let's face it the 9800GX2 was a terribly designed card. Overheated,overpriced and bolted together like frankenstein's monster.

The sinlge 9800GTX brings back sanity to the market. I think the price maybe higher than estimated or they will hold it back for a while see if they can get rid of the monster cards.

Judging from the temps given on the tweaktown review, the temps aren't at all out of the ordinary. They're pretty much the same as my gts.

Common sense.

Curves occur naturally in the real world. We, or better yet, matter, is not made of pixels.

I'm pretty sure, maybe not, that aliasing occurs because what you're looking at is made of pixels (i.e: SMALL SQUARES), which have six flat sides, twelve straight edges, and eight corners, no curves whatsoever. Natural curves do not exist in graphics, only imitated by large amounts of pixels.

You may want to refer to it as liquid cooling. None of them use 100% water, or should for that matter.

Koolance is pretty decent. I have the Exos 2 right now. It dropped my temps about 10c (AMDX2 6400+) from the older model I had before. The setup for their systems are pretty user friendly. They also sell individual parts for your liking.

There's also Swiftech. They're more on a DIY scale, but very good nonetheless. Some of their blocks also include peltiers.

CoolIT systems has a small, compact cpu only cooler. Reviews for it on 3dgameman.com.

As far as thermaltake, zalman, cooler master, corsair and other water cooling setups, I don't know.

G80:

Requires a combined 12v rating of 40A. Just add the 12v rails together. The psu you showed has 4x16A rails so you're ok... not hard to figure out. All amp/watts are listed on the sticker.

I just noticed though, that psu is a deactivated item?
