Default Low Profile / Half Size / Half Height PCI Graphics Card

Hi guys, I need, I am told, a Half Size PCI graphics card - I have never come across these before but apparently this is what I'm after! It's to fit a lighting desk BTW, and although built around a computer, it's not a regular computer. Anyone know any makes/models ...

Default Low Profile / Half Size / Half Height PCI Graphics Card

Hi guys,

I need, I am told, a Half Size PCI graphics card - I have never come across these before but apparently this is what I'm after! It's to fit a lighting desk BTW, and although built around a computer, it's not a regular computer.

Anyone know any makes/models I should be looking for; as they're old I understand they may be hard to source!

I think you'll find more results with the name "low-profile".

Here are some at NewEgg, obviously in the UK you won't be able to buy any of them directly but it should help. Don't look too hard to source to me, you've got a ton of options.

They are also commonly referred to as 'Half Height' cards.

And rare as anything. Don't expect to find any of the high end cards in this format, if any at all.

Thanks guys.

Would this be one?

It looks just like an ordinary PCI GFX card to me!

Could be because there's a regular bracket in the shot, it says it comes with the low profile one in the description.
