So I'm looking to pick up a new Video Card. My requirements are, PCI-E, Dual-DVI, and Fanless. DX10 would be nice, but not absolutely necessary. The main use of this card will be HTPC. Very limited gaming would be done, perhaps occasionally playing an MMO. I'd like to keep it under $125.00. Here are the cards I am thinking about right now:

Front Runner (Most and best reviewed on Newegg):
MSI NX8600GT

Others:
Asus EN8600GT

Gigabyte GV-NX86T256H
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125070

XFX PVT84JU1D4
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150238

Anyone have any input? Perhaps even a whole different card than the ones above? Anything would help!
 
So this is going to be a media center pc? I'd still hold off on getting something expensive like that unless you were playing some games on it.

Here are my recommendations.
I'd check out zipzoomfly, Neweggs biggest competitor and get one of these two.

XFX 8400 GS 256-mb
DX 10 compatible. $42, it will be $22 with rebate if you can buy one from them before the end of tomorrow.

Foxconn 8500 GT 256-mb
$64.98, thru 12/3 it will be 29.98 with the rebate, I don't know how long this will last. Its DX10 as well.
