I've been looking around without much success, but I'm trying to find the most powerful passively cooled video card on the market (that would also fit/work in a Shuttle SFF).

I've seen reference to the Sparkle 8800GT Passive, but I don't even know if that's available (at least I'm not finding it). Suggestions?
 
most passive cooling is 2 slot and most SFF don't have 2 slots to spare.
 
I will probably be using integrated audio so taking both slots won't be too much of a problem; I'm more concerned with finding the best video option.
 
An 8800 GTX with Thermalright HR-03 Plus can actually work passively cooled if (and this is a big if) you have very good airflow around it, which may not be possible in a shuttle.

I don't know if the HR-03 fits the 9800 GTX but if it does I would imagine that runs a bit cooler than the 8800 which would give you a better chance of not having it overheat on you.
