Im wanting to make a media box for my tv with some spare time this xmas.

I have a old Dell desktop, the smaller black size one used for
workstations.  Its like a p3 1 ghz, but will do what i want.

My problem is it is a smaller size agp hole (low profile i think its
called).  So I guess im looking for an older low agp video  card with tv
out.  Someone told me most cards come with a low bracket but i dont think
ive ever seen any.

So does anyone know where i can maybe get a older or used on cheap with tv
out? Or maybe someone have one kicken around?  There will be no 3d, just
watch divx and stuff so anything 64mb+ i think would do the trick.

And on the same subject, Id like to find a 54mb pci wifi card cheap,anyone
got one around or know a place, pref one that works out of the box with
linux?

Im looking at XBMC for the media player, worked awesome on my old xbox. 
Any input on this too?

Thanks

Arron
