Cheap PCI-E low-profile video card with DVI output?

Can someone please suggest a < $80 low-profile, PCI-E video card with DVI output that is known to work with Linux MCE?

I just got a Dell Inspiron 531s to use as a media PC; I made the mistake of ordering it without the extra video card, not realizing that the built-in one only had VGA output, not DVI.

Thanks,

an NVIDIA 6200 based card with dvi should be sufficient.

it should work with 0710.. however, 0704 would require a manual upgrade of the video drivers (which can be a bit tricky)

as i said before, you'll have best luck, getting a PCI-Express based 6200 card.
