I wonder if someone can help me out. I have one of those tiny HP desktop PC's adn the video card bites. I am looking to make it a home theatre PC and hook it up to my plasma display. Now it has a tiny PCI modem in it right now with on-board video. I have taken the modem out do to not needing it and I am wanting to buy a PCI video card that supports HDTV and has a DVI out ofcourse. Now my problem is finding a tiny PCI video card, I have seen "LOW PROFILE " video cards out there but is this what I am looking for???? I dont want to spend the money on something that I cannot fit into this tiny box. PLEASE HELP!!!! :?:
Thanks a bunch. Now I have one more question. Will my PSU be able to support the first card that is listed? I would only be using it for the Onboard nic, audio and for the memory, CD/DVD burner and HD. Think it is rated for 150 watts or something close to that.

If it's a PCI slot and not PCI-Express 16X (PCIe 16x), then you'll need another card.
Best thing for you to do would be to post a shot of the MoBo, but until then here's the two best options IMO, but high end HD support will be somewhat weak;
No it is just a PCI. Its one of those slimline HP's that they have. Ofcourse I just hooked this thing back up and have now realized that the onboard NIC has craped the bed and that will take up my slot unless I use a wireless USB adapter that will be a HUGE bottleneck for the media server though.
