I pulled the trigger on the x850XT from microcenter and nowI think I'll definitely need a PSU upgrade --- my current one won't even run a 9800 pro.
UPDATE: I installed X850XT on another Dell 4600 and all is good with 250W power supply, so it seems like its a crap shoot.
BUT, I did install the $40 ($30 AR) 430W thermaltake on my main machine and it is nearly dead silent. The two fans really keep it cool too.
I was looking at these from newegg, ideas?

Any ideas? My prime concern is low noise.
And...I've been out of the game for years, do I need dual 12v?
Thanks
