You want something like this one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814134083

It's relatively cheap, it fits in a low profile case, it's got
reasonable performance, and it's got S-video output natively in
addition to DVI and VGA.  If you upgrade to an HDTV later, you can get
a DVI to HDMI cable and you're good to go.
