Video Card With Two Digital Outputs, But No Cooling Fan?
I've got a couple of Radeon 7000's that do what I need done -
which isn't much - except that they have one digital and one analog output. My last CRT monitor finally went to monitor heaven... so they're all LCD now and 100% digital would add some clarity to the monitors that are now on the analog side. I don't have anything against more capacity - although, as somebody who just writes code, I probably don't need it. What I want to avoid is the additional noise of the on-board cooling fans that seem tb on most higher-end cards. Anybody know of a functional equivalent that has two digital outputs, but is low-end enough that it does not have an on-board cooling fan? -- PeteCresswell |

Video Card With Two Digital Outputs, But No Cooling Fan?
A suggestion: use the "power search" for video cards at www.newegg.com, even
if you can't (or won't) do business with them. I chose 2 DVI connectors, and fanless, as search criteria. 27 cards were found. At least one was bogus (dual VGA adapter, rather than dual DVI), and several are water cooled (do you wish to use that?). Most are PCI-Express cards, though. Can you use that? Address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn. "(PeteCresswell)" wrote in message ...

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. -- Best regards, Kyle "Bob Knowlden" wrote in message ... | A suggestion: use the "power search" for video cards at www.newegg.com, even | if you can't (or won't) do business with them. | | I chose 2 DVI connectors, and fanless, as search criteria. 27 cards were | found.
