Fastest video card (without fan)?

[nobody]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt (More info?)

I'm trying to keep my nearly-silent system, well, nearly-silent. I'm
looking to upgrade my GeForce 440 with a faster card that can play
Half-life and Doom3 well, but looking for something quiet, preferably
without a fan.

Any experinces out there?

Athlon 2400+XP, 512MB.

Buy card with a fan, remove said fan and heat sink, and add a heatpipe
for the video card perhaps?

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. To jump to the end
of the story, as a result of this I need a bone marrow transplant. Many
people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please
volunteer to be a marrow donor:

Sweet, but ~$200. The standard version with fan is almost half that price.
