Can anybody suggest a good quality low profile GFX card ?

Hello,

Am building my new media PC over the weekend and it needs to have a low profile graphics card - fitting is PCI-Express.

Took a quick wonder into a few shops last night after work and low profile cards were not easy to come by.

PC will be mainly running MCE2005 - processor is Intel 930D 3.0 - il be connected by DVI to a Panasonic TH42 PX60 plasma.

Would prefer the card to be NVidia based to ensure absolute match with the NVidia codecs.

Budget up to £100 but would rather send less - can anybody point me in the right direction with a good suggestion or two ?

Try this link http://shopping.kelkoo.co.uk/b/a/ss_...hic_cards.html

Seem pretty expensive.

Good luck

Don't ati with the new Avivo stuff do built in HD decoding? Heres a x1300:
x1300 from aria]

Cheap too. Not the most powerful, but it's half height with full HD acceleration. Plus, IMO, ATI have ALWAYS been ahead on image quality.
