An $800 graphics card!?! wtf!? That's more than I spent on my both
my CPU and MB!
One problem is that the 8800 GPU does not appear to be supported on
linux yet by nvidia:
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9629/README/appendix-a.html.
The beta 9742 drivers don't list support for the 8800 either.
Anyway, the nvidia-settings utility can be used to monitor GPU temps.
No idea about the cooling system.

I'd probably look more at the 7800-GPUs. You should be able to pickup
two really good 7800 boards for less than $800 and use SLI. But you
might also want to ask here:
