i'm thinking about eventually going SLI when i upgrade. when i do. are there any aftermarket single slot cooling solutins? i want to keep both my x-fi and tv tuner card.
 
You can try looking on the web sites of well-known aftermarket cooler manufacturers.

At this stage, you could simply keep in mind to choose a videocard that has a good single-slot stock cooler to go into your SLI setup. The KO line of cards fron EVGA comes to mind.

When you are ready to buy, the market will have changed anyway. Also, many think that it is better to have one very powerful card than two midrange cards in SLI. So if you don't go SLI, you will have a vast choice of aftermarket dual-slot coolers.

I think the VF900 might be single slot, but I'm not sure.

the vf-900 is a double slot cooler,
almach1, you could get water cooling.

that would take up even more room unless you had the tubes resting against the tv tuner and sound card.

The KO's cooler is actually not that much better than stock, plus it does a bad job of cooling the oc'ed card.

I agree you should just get one powerful card instead of sli, maybe a 8800gts?
 
at this point i guess i'll look into selling my vid card for a pci-express mobo and getting a 8800 gt line card.
