In the process of building a new shuttle PC. What is a good card to get for £150 that will fit easily? Been looking at a PowerColor ATI Radeon X1800 GTO 256MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-061-PC)
This a good choice?
 
£20 more for the Connect3D ATI Radeon X1800 XT 256MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-044-CO)

would give you 16 pipes instead of 8 this will make a big difference or you could go nvidia 7900gt 24 pipes

these go for 180-190 in some places

froogle for it
edit

just seen it is for a shuttle guess the 1800xt is out the 7900gt would fit but

i dont think the x1800gto is good value as you could get a lot ,more card for a little more money

if you need single slot/cool then i advise a 7600gt.

However if you want faster then i advise a 7900gt, still very cool and a single slot but is £50 over you stated max.
 
X1800XL 256mb for £150 at an online store. Its clocked lower than the X1800XT but otherwise its pretty much the same. The fan can get a little noisy from the reviews I've read. Its 16 pipes vs 8 pipes on the X1800 GTO so its much faster.
