Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Thanks for the reply - I thought that the GT ran much hotter than the GTS though?
Well I have 8 days left in the step up program so I hope that they add some new cards to the list soon!
I forgot to mention that i currently have a 640Mb 8800GTS.
I have been checking the EVGA site every few days and so far only the basic model of the 8800GT is available to step up too - and with only a week to go for me on the step up program I am not sure that any other models will be made...
I have about a week left on my step up program with EVGA for my 8800GTS ... so I could step up to the 8800GT.
I am just not sure about whether this is a good long term upgrade ... sure I will get a boost right now in Quake Wars and so on but if the future is games being demanding in the way...
Do you guys think it is worth waiting for PCI Express x2 for a SFF gaming system?
It seems to have taken ages for what will hopefully be a decent mAXT board to come out. AMD are planning PCI-E x2 GPU's for May it seems:

But...
Thanks for the replies guys - it's not either of those.
The thing i saw was way smaller that those and the fan was not siutated in any kind of housing above the cpu - the pipes went to the side of the case and the fan attached to the side of the computer case i think.
I saw a review a while back (can't remember where) for a stand alone cpu cooler that I think was phase/change?
Its made up of a part that attaches to the top of the CPU (obviously) and from there heat pipe looking things go to the back edge of the case where a fan and small phase change? unit...
This looks promising.
Fingers crossed - my entire build is waiting on a decent mATX core 2 Duo mobo :D
EDIT
With any luck we should know soon enough - these boards are listed on abit's reaady for Vista page: http://www2.abit.com.tw/engineered/vista/model.html
Saving space is always a good idea in a SFF case.
If you are building a SFF then take note of the measurements of the components, in this case the PSU and DVD to make sure that they will fit.
With a standard PSU the cable management with always be a bit of a pain as the power cables are...
I'd like to see pics of the 8800GTX in the Microfly too - I have just ordered the Microfly and have not decided between the GTX and the GTS yet.
I am still waiting for a decent mATX C2D board to come out too :-(
Here is a list of parts that I have put together so far...
