    Get a cooler like the stock cooler on X1900XT's for your vid card since they sound like leaf blowers

    No need. My new toy runs 44C idle and 60C full load, plus I modded an extra 120mm fan blowing at the PCI slots a while ago anyway.

    Base 7900GT: 450/1320
    eVGA 7900GT KO: 500/1500
    My eVGA 7900GT KO: 588/1736

    Tweaked and ready to go, now I even need Vsync for Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter.

    And this Antec 120mm Blue LED to replace my old gay parade 120mm:



    Then this Vantec 80mm which is killing my ears at 55.2dBA:

    and

    With his galleons and guns
    Looking for the new world
    In that palace in the sun
    On the shore lay Montezuma
    With his cocoa leaves and pearls

    Sensor blower. You use it to blow the dust off a DSLR sensor

    No, like 2ndCC said, since DSLR's have removeable lenses, dust gets in there, and you use this to blow it off the mirror and sensor.

    It's a bit of a risk to make it yourself. Usually it's worth sending the camera to a specialist. Until then, just clean the pics with photoshop.

    I know, thank you.

    Actually I thought that cleaning kits for DSLRs were very expensive, that's why I was a bit surprised to see a stuff like this one.

    This isn't a cleaning kit, it's just for minor dust specks, no tiuching of the sensor happens. So it doesn't do a 100% job, but also you won't mess up the sensor. Taking it in to be cleaned is a better idea if it's really dirty.

    My mistake. I didn't take a close look to the pic. That's a blower, right? Good then.
