SB51G and VGA heatsinks

Hello.

I have an SB51G, which I'd like to put a GeForce 3 into. I tried this
before, but found the machine became too noisy primarily due to the fan on
the video card.

I've had a look at this product,
http://www.quietpc.com/uk/vgamb.php#zm80ahp, which will silently cool the
card instead. The trouble is that it looks pretty large from the
illustration.

Has anyone ever tried a VGA cooler inside a Shuttle SFF? Are thery a good
fit?


Cheers,
Ian

These won't fit in any of the shuttle boxes due to shuttle putting the
AGP slot on the outside.

You could try the ZM50-HP which is a lot slimmer, and doesn't obstruct
the casing like the ZM80A-HP. Only problem is the ZM50-HP is meant to
be for low end cards, your GF3 may run a little hot with it on.
