Hello, new living room server! 😀

Do any decent AGP video cards still come in low profile form factor? It looks cool, but it looks like there isn't going to be much in the way of upgrading this with a decent video card.

edit: i see several 5200 and 9200SE/9200 cards on pricewatch, but nothing faster. Oh well.

 

[SynthesisI]

The GeForceFX 5200 should have a low-profile edition. I know there are several GeForce4 MX440s that would fit.

From the size of it, the METIS seems to use a standard microATX motherboard. Maybe an nForce2 board like the $68 Biostar M7NCG would be decent in this slim case. The Biostar board has bult in video and TV out.

It looks like SynthesisI is right, GF4 MX440 boards would fit.

ATI Radeon 9200 128mb AGP Low Profile by PowerColor fits too..

 

[JimRaynor]

Still kinda expensive IMO, the minuet is cheaper and better I think.
