Ive decided to move my 7800GTX into my HTPC, so I need a cheap passively cooled PCI-E graphics card for my server/workstation - whats the best to go for out the budget range?

Something like a Nvidia 7100 or ATI X300?

If all its gonna be doing is surfing/office type stuff, then anything will do the job reasonably well. If youre after gaming on it too, youll have to look a little harder for passively cooled solutions.

Its just to keep it ticking over, I tend to use remote access with this machine, just want to make sure Im getting bang for buck :)

Im leaning towards this (Nvidia 7100), as my motherboard uses an NV chipset.

All I need to then is fit a Zalman VF900 to my 7800GTX, install it in the HTPC and Im good to go :)
