quiet

I just got a very quiet Dell Optiplex 960 (with dual monitor video card) and wanted a 3rd monitor (only a PCI slot available). The PCI video card I got has a relatively loud (compared to this quiet PC) fan.

I'm looking for a quiet card. Need not be very powerful as it's for the third screen which I don't use for video or games, etc.

Any suggestions?
