Yup...I even see that there are a number of fanless PCI Express low
profile 84xx cards available in that price range that would fit in my
Dell 4700C frontend.

I've always been pissed at nVidia's refusal to fix interlaced output
of 1080i (or even admit there's a problem), but I have to hand it to
them for this one.  Very cool development indeed.
