Ive read 2 conflicting reports on wheather an aria can handle a 9800 pro with an arctic cooling vga silencer or not. the people at silentpcreview seem to say its a no way whereas the HTCP site review sais they are the only way to go. has anyone else had experiance with said combo? any advice welcom. im generaly a pretty good problem solver so when the parts arive Ill tell ya how it went

I know someone who installed the Arctic-Cooling VGA silencer on a Radeon 9800 Pro in an Aria case. He said that it lowered his case temperatures significantly. Of course, it does block one of your PCI slots.

yeeehaw! good news! with all the reports of the aria being a system crashing blast furnace I think I might be able to get around that problem. my system (on order but not arrived consists of the following.
athlon64 3000+
msi k8mn-fi (nforce 3 250)
zalman 7000b al-cu cooler
radeon 9800 pro (128)
wimpy pc2700 1 gig left over from last system
wimpy 80gb hdd (leftover)
wifi g pci card
im excited!
ill be replacing old parts over time
thanks for the good news
