Wow, had to look up the FX5800 Ultra. What an idiotic cooler design. So nice that the intake is right next to the exhaust.....and a centrifugal fan the size of a dime.

It was a ground-breaking new design at the time. The first floating-point GPU for nVidia. But they had serious problems keeping it cool, and that cooler was LOUD. It sounded like standing next to a jet taking off.

I’m a big fan of the blower fans. Had an aftermarket one on my ATI 9700. I can’t rmeember the name. I’ll have to find it.
Edit: ah yes, Arctic Cooling: ATI Silencer

That and the Zalman 7000AlCu was the bomb.

Back to business. My wife is a hairdresser and she finds this hairdryer pretty neat, but we all can agree that it's very expensive. There's plenty of those which you won't be afraid to use. She gave me this link to prove this point.

As for the graphic cards, GeForce 2 MX FTW!

Hair spray obviously - find one with a flammable propellant, use it with a lighter and your hair will be dry in a matter of seconds. A bonus is that next time you shower, you will no longer have any hair that needs drying so it will be even easier.
