Sorry didn't see your post Chris, I went for 460's in my i7-930 rig for the same reason's as you did but replacing all my other cards (7...ouch) with more 460's would get expensive, not to mention I'd like to keep the power draw down in case I eventually decide to add another rig...:biggrin:
Those are good cards I'm sure ST but for some strange reason I don't like Gigabyte stuff, might just be the colours they use I don't know. Feel the same way about EVGA, just an instinctive dislike.
The only reason I went MSI is because BFG is out of the game, so it will probably be either MSI or Asus for me for now...

@dangtx; I'm starting to reach the limits for available hydro in my appartment, thats another reason to replace my 9800GTX/GTX+'s and GTS250's with 450's, unfortunately the Fermi's really suck back the juice when OC'd to the limits...
