Radeon 9700 Pro with a Zalman heat sink already attached (about £320)
second
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9000 Atlantis 64MB (about £55)

i know ppl have removed their fans off radeon 9000s that came with a fan
but what about a radeon 9000 pro? can that work well without a fan?
i'm thinking of the tyan 9000 pro 64mb http://www.tyan.com/products/html/g9000pro.html
or is it not even worth it to pay extra for the pro, even if it does work without the fan?

here's something from bjorn3d
it also looks like the 9600 doesn't need extra power = less heat = less cooling = less noise
"Moving to a .13 process means the ability to pack more stuff into a smaller die as well as make the chipset use less power. ATI talked about the possibility to get a fan-less version of the Radeon 9600 which uses no fan. For anyone who wants to build a quiet PC this sounds like a great product"
