half height graphics cards

hi, I am thinking of building a HTPC using the Elonex Artisan barebones case/mobo. What half height graphics card should I get for it (budget of about 100 euro?) - was thinking of the ATI x600, is there anything better? thanks.

Not really this X1600 is the best you can get in half height with a low profile bracket in the box for your price range.

Unless you plan gaming, 100e is well more than you need to spend. Anything that supports DirectX 9 is fine. The nvidia FX5200 is a popular and dirt-cheap card, although a little harder to get with a LP bracket.
