My refurb Optiplex 755 SFF not USFF just got here today, and I realized that the Graphic card a GT520 will not fit in it. (in the rush of trying to get everything here before Christmas I didn't make sure it was a low profile card). Luckily I'll have a machine I can put it in soon. If not I'll prob trade or give it away (Happy Holidays) Just wanted recommendations for a card that will fit and do the job of providing hdmi out with sound. Initial setup will be Ubuntu. Also in the market for a tuner card. I know this question has been asked to death but many of the cards recommended are either out of stock or discontinued.
I switched out my radeon 4350 for asus radeon HD6570 which works fine driving a 1080p projector via hdmi and a 1080p led monitor via dvi. If you re into gaming, them you need something more powerful. But for movies, it should do the trick.

Can you just remove the "high profile" plate? most cards have the vga port removable for low profile use. I did this for my gt430.

Thanks for the tip. It's not for gaming just a box for the house. Just needed a little more flexibility than some of the smaller more dedicated boxes offer as I also run plex.
