    Fanless GTX 580?  I never thought I'd see such a thing.  Anyway my votes go to:
     
    NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra

     
    EVGA 9800GTX/9800GTX+
    EVGA 9800GX2  

     
    EVGA GTX 295 (dual PCB).
     
    EVGA GTX 580 Classified/GTX 580 Classified Ultra

    ^^^Sweet cards. And yeah, I nearly got two of their 560 TI 2GB cards in the Phantom (fanless), but decided to either wait for Kepler or maybe get 560 Ti Classy Ultra's..

    Ehhh I just picked and chose. Probably not my favorite looking ones but they look cool.
     
    If the one with the chick wasn't friggin pink I would be all over it. But hey that would be an awesome card for you to get your girl?

    I'd have to agree to date I have not seen a better looking air cooled card since the  9800GX2. That thing felt great in your hands, sleek, and was just overall pleasing to look at. InB4 the giggles :]

    Same as any air cooled TRI SLI rig, there's space between the cards enough for them to breathe.

    Wow, nice everyone!!
     
    And Xray, I'm prolly getting two of those in about a week. There's only 103 ever made, and about 47 still in existence. How's that for rare.

    That GTX 295 is a bit too red but that reminds me of another one of my favorites - the original dual PCB EVGA GTX 295.  Added to my post.

    That's the one I have that I use as a spare, just in case my other cards go bad.  Love that card. If it was only DX11, it would have been my last card needed for many years. The dual GPU on it is a plus too.

    Just one is all I need until Kepler...  I will simply keep this card for a backup video card (lifetime warranty ) after Kepler is released!

    Dual GPU isn't a plus when you can get the same or more power with one card (*looks at my GTX 480 and your GTX 580).  It was certainly a looker though.  My GTX 480 in its current state is a black PCB with two hunks of metal on it, as shown in my mods rigs.

    Yeah, my bad. They're silent fans nearly. Very good design.
     
    But I have seen a guy remove them, and still ran cool! Pretty neat design.
