I'm considering getting a PowerColor AX5750 1GBD5-HV2, since its only $90 AR at newegg. Anybody know how noisy it is? If there's something else you recommend I'd certainly like to hear about it, too. However, I do need a vga port.

Directly from Newegg's user feedback:
It's very quiet too!
Quiet Fan

You could also PM steppinwolf on this site, seems to be sporting this card (or similar) in his sig.

Yeah, but who knows how loud the rest of his computer is? Here, I know anyone who says something is quiet, really knows what quiet actually means.

It is in fact quiet. Took me a while to get it working, though. Now that it is, I find its quiet, but I don't like quality of the noise it makes. Reducing fan speed via ati overdrive did not work and neither did editing the card's bios. I figure I'll buy a fan extension cable and add a small resistor to reduce voltage by maybe .5 or 1 volts. Or buy an in-line fan speed controller. Hopefully the card will tolerate lower fan speeds.
