Due to your 280w PSU, the only video card I can recommend is the HD 4650 512MB DDR2.

It is certainly not the weakest low profile video card, but certainly not the fastest. This card should consume about 30w - 35w under load.

I would suggest the 9600GT LP LP it is low power No external plug low profile. I just got 2 at best buy on clearance for 70 bucks each and just so you don't worry about power I plugged them into Dell optiplex 760 low profiles with 91watt rated supplies work just fine. I know I will get hell for that around here but dell always way under rate their power supplies so the dumb a general public does not blow up their PC's :)
