Low-Profile Video Cards?

Posted by Cliff on from the short-enough-to-fit-in-odd-profiled-cases dept.

Catherine Ellerman asks: "I'm after a couple of REALLY low-profile video cards to put in a firewall/router. Motherboards with built in video and networking are available but the reason why I don't really want to go out and buy a new motherboard is because a lot of the processing power would be wasted. Back in my parts store I've a couple of 120Mhz Pentium motherboards that will do the job nicely and a friend of mine helped me source the low-profile NICs (at just over an inch high they're hardly noticeable). All I need now is someone to help me find a couple of low-profile video cards and get the bugs out of the latest kernel."

    Try using a agp or pci riser card. These adapters fit between the card and the slot, and allow you to mount the card parallel to the board, as opposed to perpendicular to it.

    They make right angle and flexible ones.
