Graphics card for Shuttle HTPC

[Sparky__H]

Hi Guys

My poor old Shuttle HTPC needs an upgrade. I need a graphics card that can pump out 1080p with 5.1 audio while still only drawing power from the PCI-E x16 slot. The big problem is the Shuttle only has a 250w PSU and no PCI-E power connectors and because of it's size I cant fit a card with a large cooler. Oh before i forget the model is SN68SG2.

I was looking at something like:
THIS!
THIS!

Any other recommendations?

This looks like it might do the job. The only issue I can think of is that I watch a lot of soft subtitled h.264 media and that's some serious load sometimes.

As long as you won't be gaming those cards will be fine. I've been using a HD2600 while I RMA'd a 4850 and it played all h.264 media no problems.
