[mythtv-users] Fanless graphics card suggestions?

[Jay]

Another good way to find one, is to go to Newegg.com and just look at pictures of video cards. I've gotten 2 or 3 fanless cards this way. 
They have a picture for every item, and its an actual picture of the items.
Hope that helps.

Sure, why not... Yeah, I had a fan go bad on one of my GF4MX cards. 
Replaced it with a beast heatsink. Vantec makes some decent little 
replacement kits, fanless and fanned. For higher-end (i.e. hotter) 
cards, there's always the heatpipe conversion as well. At the moment, 
I'm just running a fanless (to begin with) GF FX 5200.
