Hi David,

I tested both, the ATI Radeon 8500 and an GeForce 4 MX (both from 
macs) in my cube. Both are fanless (!). I didn't compare the two 
cards, but I'm working with the GeForce 4 MX, and it doesn't become 
hot with my 17' Formac TFT. The ATI is waiting for better times (or 
reserve)

Main reason for changing the cards was the wish to use two monitors 
when necessary.

You know about the necessity to search for an new place for the 
DC-board and to buy (or to build as I did) an new cable therefore?
