I'm looking into getting a SFF possibly, can anyone, particularly owners comment on this package?

Seems decent enough but how noisy is it in general use and under load ie gaming?

Cheers.
Thinking of a 4890 but the better cooled (AFAIK) Sapphire Vapor-X:-

Plan is to put it in a cupboard however, obviously wont help with heat but at least noise shouldnt be a factor....if this doesnt work out i'd have to put it on the desk top hence the question on noise.

Thanks thats good to know, it would be at stock speeds for starters at least. I would guess the fleece would limit airflow more than the cupboard would.

Do you do this heat testing on your tower PC's?
I'm also thinking of the Titan Goliath with the Sapphire Vapor X 4890, Corsair H50 and a front 120mm fan fitted, probably a Akasa AK-FN057 Apache.

Actually may plump for a 5850 if they are in stock (Powercolour are currently) and wont hold the build up...do these run cooler than the 4890?
Is the Powercolour 5850 similar to the Vapor-X 4890 in the noise stakes?

They do make a nice looking machine!
