Be careful not to go down that path to much ... You will end up with a
lot of video cards :)

The 8600GT are difficult to find now, and there's certainly none at
the store I usually go to.

I bought mine over 6 months ago for the 512MB version and the 256MB
was bought just one year ago...

The only fanless I've found are either 9400GT or 9500GT..

Like this one for the 9500GT with hdmi (not 7.1 however):
