errr low Price lol

How about a price range then? My idea of low quality and cheap might be a bit different than yours. My idea of a good but relatively cheap vid card is $150 or so. :D

$50-$100 or so

needs to be somewhat low profile or short in length

Err, sorry, but what is 'somewhat' low profile or short in length in your mind? What case do you have?

the matx rig in my sig.. its a Aspire XQpack

somewhat low profile is what i consider not a full size card, but not some dinky cheapy really small low profile card lol :screwy:yeah i know sounds crazy..

I had a 8800gts if i remember right in this case at one time but want something a little short to garuntee' room and airflow since its mostly a silent rig and no fans except cpu..

Like that? :shrug:

yeah something along that line, but need something decently powerful, none of that 8400gs crap :)

Well IIRC, 9600GT, 8800GT, 8800GTS all the same length. 8800GS/9600GSO might be a bit shorter.. The GTS will vent outside the case though, and shouldn't really hurt your airflow, might even improve it..
