Dave I have just installed a geforce fx5200 card that I bought from
Neil Spellings at the SW show.
The card it replaces is the original graphics card that came with my
Iyonix Panther.
I bought the Panther because Jack said it was the quietest machine
sold by Castle at the time. It has run for 8 hours a day on average
since purchase. It stands under a desk on a tiled floor. It is not
completely silent but the new graphics card has revealed the noise
from the two hard disks which was previously masked by the noise of
the old graphics card fan.
It is a worthwhile improvement as I use the panther to play MP3 at a
fairly low volume. Overall it is satisfactory.
Of course my A9Home is quieter but unfortunately the Iiyama monitor I
use with it emits a high pitched whine:-)
