if you get one that doesn't do passive cooling, you can always check out
zalman coolers ... even if they don't have a passive cooler for a
particular card you get, their active cooling solutions are almost as
good as silent (i'm running the zalman cooler on a nVidia GeForce 6600GT
AGP card ... yes, it's not technically supported, but the cooler DOES
work on the AGP version of the card)
