[Zebo]

this will go in HTPC so HDMI out - passive preferred.

Score!

The 4650 is a very capable card that can be passively cooled.

Problem is there is a HDD bay right below, at botton of case - needs to be single slot

a to b is 40 mm most HDD is 24-35mm

Is that HIS HD 4670 under $60?

That's in interesting-looking case, Zebo; if it's not too much trouble, could you provide photos of it from other angles, or perhaps a link to a product page?

Looks like it is over $100 at most places but at least two places have it under $100 with a rebate (both have free shipping):

I went ahead with this 9800. Definity single slot and seems low power because it's underclocked - man it's hard buying 'low end' so many choices vs. 2-3 at high.

This is a pretty comprehensive review. I went with it because my cabinet is only 13" deep and will not fit most cases. Also, it's nice to be able to put a real PSU in there like corsair or seasonic instead of worrying.

Get a 8800 for 80 dollar. Spend a bit more and you get a whole lot of bang for the buck.

I've been eyeing the Sapphire 4650 for my HTPC box. May just go with the 4350 though.

Low Profile:
Sapphire Radeon HD4650
Sapphire Radeon HD4350

You could buy my 256mb single slot Visiontek ATI 3850 for $50.

What size PSU? I'm looking for a lp gpu that will work with my 235w PSU. Most cards require 300w+. I looked for specs on that Asus 4350, but don't see any requirements?

4350 isn't really enough juice for good de-interlacing and such: you should optimally have a 4670 or GT220. However, for passive low-end, this Geforce 210 should do fine if the heatsink isn't sticking too far out for you.
