You don't need to worry to much about HDMI because DVI and HDMI are
designed to be compatible so there are plenty of cheap adapters that
work perfectly. You can just do a power search on newegg and list your
requirements. I would suggest limiting yourself to fanless cards. I
would also stay with 8500/9500 and up. The 8400/9400 aren't able to
handle the best VDPAU deinterlacers with all content. There are
several fanless 9500GT cards in your price range.
