Whoo hoo!  I just bought my new system from Newegg with an ATI 1600
silent (fanless) PCIe graphics card.  This is good news for future
improvements!  

More details on my new system if people are interested, but basically
a nice moterboard, AMD 5200 CPU, 4gb (2x2g) RAM, graphics, disk and a
power supply for $500.  I'm happy.
