I'm looking to build the smallest computer I can, as a personal project, but I'm having trouble with several things, including this.

Anywhere I can buy a laptop's card for use in this thing?

There are mini itx mobos with integrated graphics. They are really small.
I think this is your best bet for the smallest.

Just a reference:

Ahh, I want one, but I'm on a budget, and the ones I've found don't have any PCIe x16 slots.
I'd at least like it to handle some decent games, you know?

Here's one - Link
Small doesn't come cheap, apparently. 8O
There's a few others on the site too.
Not sure about a low profile gaming card, though.

Poo.
I suppose I could go with a MicroBTX.
There is one on Newegg for $110, onboard vid, 6 channel audio, HDTV output, G965 chipset.

Seems small enough to me, and would play UT and CS until I find a 7 or 8 series card.
