I can second the opinion. The GigaDesigns CPU card is very stable and 
quick. The included blue LED fan is much too loud, however. Do your 
ears a favor and get a really whisper quiet fan at 
http://www.pcsilent.de/de_gruppe_leise_luefter_80mm_ungeregelt.asp

I have the "MR Computertechnik ichbinleise Fan 80/1000 blue" installed, 
and really cannot hear it at more than 30 cm distance from the Cube 
(the Papst Typ 8412 NGLLE provides equal air volume and is supposed to 
be even quieter).

Cheers,
Christian
