Half height Gfx card?

[I_M_Weasel]

I've a friend who wants to upgrade his pc, unfortunatly its a tiny little weird shaped thing and won't take a full height gfx card, can you spec me a card that'll fit, needs to be better than an ati x1300, he wants to play Modern warfare 2.

Haven't had chance to look inside the PC so I'm a bit vague on space and power available but a GTX480 is out of the question.

Thanks for any suggestions you can offer, I'll be shopping at OcUk!

when you say half height how high give some dimensions because there are some non reference 5770 swhich are really small not half half height but really small in comparison to a full length card etc etc.

By the looks of it theres about 7cm or so, I didn't have time to take the PC apart to check but would certainly do so before ordering. Just looking to see if there is anything at all out there at the moment or if he'll be better cutting his losses and starting over with a non proprietary case/motherboard/PSU.

Powercolor have this,

Should be powerful enough for what he wants but not sure if OcUK will be able to get any.
