I just wish they would change the case so one didn't have to mod it to fit a 8800gtx in it.

I am currently looking at the MSI card

It nearly has the same OC as that Foxconn one and is cheaper than all the prices you gave.

I have liked my Panaflo 92mm L1B - FBA09A12L1BX.
Max speed is suppose to be 2100 RPMs and my mother board is reporting it spinning at 740 RPMs at the moment.

If you are sure you have an AGP able to do at least 4x then the 7600gs linked above is the answer. If you only have PCI then the 1300 is the fastest card you can get and I found that this one is passive.

Has anyone done a P180 mod where they replaced the feet on this case so it is taller and cut a hole out of the bottom of the case and ducting it so the PSU gets room temp air from the bottom and out the back.
