[QUOTE="jimmyeatappl, post: 164694, member: 53722"] I would love to go with a passively cooled one but... here are the issues. The one you listed is a full size card and thus will not fit in my low profile (width not height) slot on the back. The card I picked out wasn't set in stone, but its one of the few that come with a conversion bracket. The vga is attached via cable so you can remove it all together and put a smaller bracket on it.
