I'm not sure if you read my last posts but to sum up:

I bought a pre built sn26p on ebay
(athlon 3200, 80Gb SATA & ATI x1600 XT)

When it arrived it had a x800 GT installed instead, I got in touch and said I wasn't happy with the swap and we settled on him sending me a brand new sealed x800 GTO in its place.

The only thing is it's the fireblade version and the fan's a bit loud when I'm using the shuttle as a media centre.

I've seen these cards go for ~£100 on ebay. What's the best & quietest card I could get in it's place?

Cheers

I wouldn't really want to spend anymore than I get for the card I sell.

I heard bad things about the HIS x800s being unstable, any idea if it's true?
 
Is that one with a heatsink rather than fan?

Also, sorry to add more 'wants' but do any cards have 'tv in' as well so I could use it to capture TV?

The case is a shuttle sn26p.

It'll spend most of it's life hooked up to a TV and amp in my living room. Ideally it'd be nice if I could use it to record TV shows and finally get rid of my VCR!

At the moment it's got:

Shuttle SN26P Case & Mobo
1Gb Samsung RAM
80Gb SATA HD
Sapphire X800 GTO Fireblade (read as noisy)

Eventually I'd like to get a remote and 'TV in' card for it.

I hope than selling the current graphics card and buying a heat sink one will drastically reduce the noise levels.

My budget would depend on what I can sell the card for.


Thanks for your help, I hope this is clearer
