Does anyone know of a PCI Express video card that will fit in a compact case, I believe they are called "half-height". The metal I/O plate needs to be about 3.25 inches, I have found some low profile cards but the metal plate is the regular size.

Yes, but that's kind of a last resort when working on other people stuff, hehe. I'm not even sure if the card I had (X300SE) would fit in there if I did cut it up.

@vulcan: thanks, I'll check them out.
