For anyone interested

After doing a bit of research (including reading
http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/zardon/asus-bravo-220-review-htpc/7/ ) I replaced the noisy 9600GT in my server with an Asus Bravo GT220.

It seems to operate ok, with basic cpu and case fans the machine is now
finally quiet enough for me however it may need additional cooling (as
summer rolls on) which I was hoping to avoid.  At idle first thing this
morning the GPU temperature was sitting at 67 degrees.  I've taken out a
card that was probably impeding air flow over the heat sink and will
keep an eye on it and report back.  I suspect that adding some closed
cell foam to tunnel air better may also be required.
