You can have a 7600 GS/GT (nearly) anywhere. Just google on the 
internet. However, if I were you, I would not go for this one, but 
choose a passively cooled model instead, i.e. a Geforce board that does 
not have a moving fan.

You will surely love to hear the difference. ;-)))

Kind regards

Eberhard, using a silent 7600 GT and it's great to not hear anything 
from it.
