Well, according to Villman's website, they're still carrying Sparkle TNT2 M64 and the Matrox G550. Both are fanless. The G550 is not cheap though (around 7500 pesos) and is kind of over kill for your setup because because this card is for dual head setups. > The other thing is power supplies.

Don't use generic power supplies. You might want to get those UL listed power supplies, which costs more than generic power supplies. The only UL listed power supplies that I know available locally are Englight and Enermax. There could still be others though. The UL listed ones are, theoretically, more reliable because products receiving approval from that organization have gone to stricter safety testing before going out to the US market.
