I have a low profile Dell optiplex which I want to use as a media center. I am connecting it to a led tv and 5.1 surround sound receiver. I'm looking for a video card which I can transmit hd video and 5.1 audio for a low price. The problem is that this computer only has a pci slot. So I guess I'm looking for a low profile pci video card which transmit both sound and video. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

So I went another route and just set up my ps3 to stream from the computer and then go hdmi out to my tv. Quality is great and there is no more lag. I guess I'll just stick with this option for the time being. Thanks anyways guys.
