Just for interest sake, I'll give my feedback about topic.

I have a Chaintech Nvidia FX5200 passive cooled card (ie. heat sink
only no fan) It's a low profile card with d-sub and svideo output
only. The machine it runs in is a low profile system hence this card.
It comes with a standard bracket, but dont use that so its in the box.

The card works really well and svideo out looks great on a tv,
certainly brings the box/application to life against a tv with a
remote.
