Even further to the Newegg suggestion, check out the open box/refurb
area for good deals on a decent vid card. Never had a bad refurb/open
box from Newegg to date. Bought 2 open box vid cards from Newegg in
the last few months and both worked as expected. I specifically chose
fanless models for people who were not 3d gamers and wanted a quiet
system.
