    My work PC is based around an Intel D865GLC motherboard and a small case so I have to use low profile AGP/PCI cards. Video is supplied by the onboard i810 chip, however I reckon I could blag myself a second 17" TFT :)

    Onto the hardware, my first preference is to get a low profile PCI graphics card, but I'm having difficulty finding one. Does anyone know of such as card? (perferably nVidia as I run Debian)

    Failing that, I'll have to get a low profile, dual head AGP card like this and mod it.

    If you use this computer for just work and not games then maybe you could go with a mx400 or a XFX Nvidia geforce Fx 5200 128mb
    I know its not much but from my experience with them they are VERY low profile and they actually dont do to bad on low end gaming.
    Just use the search really, 1,580,000 results on yahoo.

    Don't care about games, this PC is only used for web development work.

    That XFX is no good - the max resolution is too low for a 17" TFT.
