My friend is wondering how much the front fan actually helps in the Shinobi since it has a solid front panel instead of mesh. This is the main factor that is turning him away from the Shinobi even though he really likes how it looks.
Also, there is an XFX 7770 2gb at Microcenter:
XFX HD7770-FX777A-CGF4 AMD Radeon 1000 MHz 2GB DDR3 PCI-E 3.0 Video Card FX-777A-CGF4 - Micro Center
When we were at the store it was $80 after rebate. If it's still the same price when we go back, would that be a better deal than this:
PNY VCGGTX650T1XPB GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Video Card - Newegg.com
