Something smaller than an NV5

I have a BFG 6800 which I just put in my mini (Ideq 210V). First thing I noticed was how loud the cards fan was in comparison to the rest of the box. Since I run it over night, and leave it in my room I would like to have something quieter. That said I was looking at the NV5 but from what I understand it takes up two slots, and I only have one more PCI in it as is. If I have to I will sacrifice it, but I was wondering if you knew of anything that only took up a single slot AND was quiet. Not too jacked about trying to get any crazy performance out of it, just want it a bit qiueter.

As well, does anyone know how much power these things draw? Looks like I have to replace my stock psu with the 250w in order to run the processor at full 400 FSB (Crippled now as a 2500 XP). I am hoping the 250w psu will be able to handle it, but it might be tight, especially if the fan uses a lot of juice.

Thanks,
RDL
