I got a pretty nice Nvidia FX5200 for $29.99 ($59.99 - $30 MIR) at Frys
recently.  Maybe the price is still the same.  It was two weeks ago.
It's AGP and has VGA and S-video out.

Hi all.

I know I'm openning a can of worms, but here goes....

I need to replace the video card in my myth box.  

My TV (53" widescreen, if it matters) will accept either s-video or dvi.
My 
mobo has a pci and agp slot open.

I prefer the nvidia chipset.  I'm not a gamer, but opengl is nice to
have for 
the occasional game of torcs or sauerbraten.

I don't want to buy junk, but I also don't have money burning holes in
my 
pockets.

Any advice?
