Take a look at the Asus A8N-SLI Premium (*NOT* the Deluxe). The Premium is  
an nForce4 chipset (well supported these days) and includes passive  
cooling on the north and southbridges. Otherwise, I've had good luck with  
the ATI Xpress 3200 based Asus A8R32-MVP, but only with newer kernels. The  
ATI chipset runs much cooler than the nforce4 beast, and you might be able  
to get away with less noisy fans in the system.
