Default Advice Needed

I'm building a new PC which will be used as a Digital Audio Workstation for
recording music, but also for 3D Animation design. I hear the Matrox is
good for audio because there's no onboard fan. What would be a good card
for my purposes?

Thanks very much.

There are many boards with no onboard fan, and any current ATI and most
of the current nvidia boards can be fitted with fanless Zalman heat
sinks. One of the "Sapphire" brand "Ultimate" series boards would be a
good choice--they already have the Zalman heat sink.

Thanks very much.
