I had some trouble finding one with component and s-video out. In the
end I made one. 8400GS fanless and low profile with
s-video/composite/component and dvi out:

I did have to modify it, but it runs cooler than my full height factory
fanless 8400GS idles. :) Total cost was about $31. ($26 for the card, $5
for 5 heatsinks to try) 

Cheers,
