    Fail. Make one with low profile brackets to fit the media centre PCs instead, now that would be some treat. And.. 7770 not 7750

    Now that sounds like a sensible plan

    I presume that the 'greeness' is the lack of that oh so power hungry fan?, just because its quiet doesn't mean its low power.

    Whats with the huge cooler on the passively cooled HD7750 cards?? The passively cooled HD4670,HD5670 and HD6670 cards had smaller coolers. The single slot HD7750 cards look a better choice IMHO.

    Re: News - PowerColor outs passively-cooled HD 7750 Go! Green

    Now on my 3rd passively cooled Radeon so I'm the target audience for this sort of kit. Currently have this card's grandad - a standard Gigabyte 5750 with a bent-to-fit Accelero S1 heatsink. The trouble with the smaller heatsinks (i.e. single slot jobs) is they can get a bit too warm for comfort when gaming unless you have case fans running. This rather defeats the point of the silent card in the first place.

    I agree that while the wide card won't suit all the SFF / HTPC crowd, for a general purpose tower build where silence (as opposed to quiet) is paramount, these cards will be good I reckon.
