Slimline cards also tend to be more expensive than their full size counterparts.

Yeah, after poking around the intertubes a little bit, my raging nerdboner kind of died.
Also, I was just looking at those two cards, haha. Yeah I guess they won't be able to keep up with anything released in the next year or two, but anything is better than the GeForce 5200 I used to run. Another thing is the power supply... I hadn't thought of the tiny case when I started looking around at PSU's, any ideas on where to start looking for something that'll fit into a 4 inch wide case?

You really want to stick another GB of RAM in there as well, me thinks.

Yep, we stuck in another stick of RAM a while back. 2GB is nothing to brag about, but it's better than nothing
