I don't have a graphics card because of heat/fan/noise.
It's possible to get a GeForce 6800 with a passive cooler (heatsink)
instead of a fan. I bet you can get a newer one as well, though you may
have to opt for the "mobile" version. Either way, I've got an 8800 with
a fan right now but it's really very quiet--it pays to read reviews that
discuss noise levels of various brands.
My EVGA 7200GS/256MB has no active cooler either. Truth be told, it gets
as hot as a cheerleader. I hasten to say that I wasn't really needing
the video performance... but it was free after rebate :o).
