Those pics are so nice!

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Just been checking out the Leadtek website. They have a very cool looking GTX 780 Triple fan GPU. They look like a good brand, they must be the Nvidia Board Partner underdogs.

Here in Malaysia and Singapore,Leadtek is the brand to look for as they offer the cheapest ref Nvidia card you can buy,sometimes undercutting other brands by as much as $100 while also offering 3 years warranty.
