Video card question

[Bean]

I noticed in your Serenity line up you carry the Powercolor 6750. Do you have any plans to carry Powercolor's 6850 fanless version card?

Powercolor Scs3 ax6850

We've tested that card, and it runs too hot to be cooled within the noise level limits we have in mind for Serenity. The cooling fins run in the wrong direction for a front->back airflow. You could use a strategically placed side panel fan and cool it fairly well, but that would be quite a bit louder than the cooling methods we use in Serenity.
