Graphics cards for MicroATX cases

[Wej]

I want a semi-decent (<£100) GFX card for a micro atx setup. It may be a media PC at some stage, but primarily if I play games it'll be HL2 based, so it doesn't need to be super powerful.

I'm worried about the card heights - anybody run a MicroATX with middle of the range (PCI-E) card? What are you running?

Can you run a full height card,or need half height ?

 

[Wej]

Not sure - I'd like the option of a media case so preferably half height to be safe.

Antec NSK2400 takes a ati x1800t without any problems

well more or less middle of the road card now, i run an 8800GTS 320MB in a Lian li V300.
the cooler is nice & quite too so no probs for HTPC duty too
Theyre more than likely gonna start dropping in price because of the newer G92 GT's & GTS's

only possible prob for you is the Full height & double width cooler

I have a 8600GT in my Silverstone Sugo. I can play HL2 at 1650x1080 fully maxed out...
