Yeah 5970 is a bit silly for a media center - the 5870 in it is working great mind you, fitted one this morning - what a mega card that is.

I think the sapphire vapor x 5870 is probably the best video card on the market right now.

I'm less then fond of getting a cooler video card at the expense of all the heat being dumped right back in my case.

With the vapor X most of it goes out the back - ive diodes everywhere and ive been monitoring every card I put in. Id say the 5870 is pretty much the limit in this chassis however. the fan works a bit harder than it normally does in a big tower - can hear it more when gaming than normal (still silent with media etc). Sapphires bios configuration on this card is pretty active especially when compared to the standard 5870 - temps rarely hit 70c even in this silverstone.
