If you look at the product picture ( http://www.mini-box.com/picoPSU-150-XT ) it's build as 24-pin connector for the motherboard.

It can be seen in this picture:

If you're looking for a cheap one, I'd say a geforce 7100/nf630i based one could be an option, for example Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H. It has optical and hdmi ports. Graphics processor is a bit outdated, but I guess you should be able to play 1080p mkv's with that CPU power alone.

Gainward 7800 GS silent AGP versions seem to have a cooler looking much like the AC silencer. http://www.gainward.net/products/ If I've understood various forums posts correctly, "7739-BLISS 7800GS Silent 512MB AGP" is actually AGP version of 7800 GT and "7876-BLISS 7800GS Silent 512MB GS+" is based...

isnt a vanilla 6600 a little dated to be reviewd? nvidia just released a passive single slot 7600gs' for $150 USD. $150 won't get you far with those, if you happen to have an AGP-only system - whereas passive 6600 AGP gives you a nice quiet VGA with hardware HD (MPEG-2, WMV, H.264) decode accelerat...

They have four configurations, at least two of which go by the name "extreme edition" (520/1500 and 550/1630).

Gigabyte has this kind of passive 7600 GT coming, but I haven't seen it yet in stores.

I just sawed two cuts, one straight along the wall and one in 45 degrees or so.

Picture should explain. Just select the correct mounting side to saw off :)
