For an AMD I went with the ThermalRight XP-90 with a 92mm Vantec Tornado on it

ATI crossfire soon boys.
How is the 7800 a 6800 in disguise?! It seems to me to be a completely different animal! And a much better animal at that.

The 6800Ultra has speeds of 1.1Ghz memory and 400 on the core while the 7800GTX runs just slightly higher at 1.2Ghz memory and 430mhz core yet performs MUCH better than the 6800 Ultra. The 7800 also has more pipelines (24 as opposed to only 16 on the 6800U) so that will also add to the performance difference. And despite all that, the 7800GTX actually uses less power than the 6800U!
the 7800 uses less power when idle but it actually uses more when at full load.
