I dunno, but I bought this card a while back:

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-145-067&depa=1

The card I got was actually fanless, despite the product shot, and did include 
a low-pro plate. Kind of a gamble with either one of these cards, since the 
card I mentioned earlier may not have the plate, and the card above could 
come with a fan. :-)
