in my opinion i wouldn't bother getting the BFG water cooled edition - simply cos i know it's gonna cost a BOMB... sure it comes with a danger den waterblock, but in the coming weeks / months there will be loads of water blocks coming out for the 8800 GTX, so why not just get the normal 8800GTXs and fix your own waterblock in future? i think it's always better 2 fully customise ur cooling system whether it's air / passive / water... best performance that way la.

as 4 myself, i went for the MSI version, as it was the cheapest n had good reviews. wanted the eVGA version but couldn't find it anywhere so i settled for the MSI. when lots of cooling parts r more available for the 8800 then i'll rip the stock fan / heatsink off my GPU then add a waterblock. jus my 2 sen

ok bro. but honestly it's easy 2 say this sucks that sucks etc etc... however sometimes it's a matter of opinion (and luck maybe?) as different ppl have different experiences wit each board and manufacturer. For some, Gigabyte (for example la, not sayin' it's bad or good) works wonders, for others, not such a gr8 performance. am not sayin ur wrong tho as i MYSELF hav had problems with MSi products in the past too...

so far i suppose the best 8800 GTX out there for now is the eVGA version.... my fren has JUST added a danger den waterblock 2 his 8800GTX... damn i'm jealous
