Not at this time. Slow in coming out with low profile cards for the smaller cases. Unless something came out just recently, you have one of the better half height cards available. Keep watching and maybe someday. Oh, yes... If anyone is a some what hardcore gamer, stay away from any small computer cases. They are not much in the way of being upgradable as the tower cases.
Are you ready to receive the good news, or are you content to listen to bad, unsubstantiated advice? Yes there is a good half-height card for even low profile machines, which people do use for gaming. For myself and friends, I've built micro ATXs all the time, because most of my friends can't stand bulky boxes, which Dell is particularly fond of. Why have a computer with 6 slots when you end up using only 2 most of the time? Airflow problem? Well then engineer it properly so air can flow properly. Look at that iMac. What do you call that? So without further ado, here's the card you want.

Great card. Is the SPDIF in for your receiver to send audio through the hdmi? I understand hdmi has audio rails but how does the card convert the audio signal? I am so confused :)
Dunno. I might be hunting for this card soon since I've just placed an order for a C521 today for myself. It's either this or wait for the Leadtek. This came out of a Google search and is unfortunately in Chinese.

I checked out Leadtek's news, and they haven't made any announcement yet about this low profile 7600GS, so this can take a while.
They are coming out with 7600 and 1600, but careful of heat, ie sapphire 1600, and wattage required, my c521 only has 280 watts, usually more required to run better cards, ie visiontek 1650xt.
Correction. They are not "coming out" with 7600 and X1600. The X1600 Pro HDMI has been found in a shop near me for close to a year now. The 7600 must have been shipped some time ago too, because just recently at Cebit '07 MSI had just introduced the first DirectX 10 low profile card. Another thing. When the Taiwanese made these low profile beasties, logic dictates that they should have "low power" in mind, seeing as these cards are meant to go into the smallest of cases, which I don't suppose should come with 300 watt PSUs. Ok, so my petite micro-ATX AOpen case does come with a 300 watt PSU, but still, even that little monster can drive a power-starved 7600GT with nary a hiccup.
No, I have the Visiontek X1300. It works ok for me, I play Far Cry and World of Warcraft fine, also America's Army on all the high settings. I found the power supply is the weak link, cause you can get gs 7600 and 1600 that fit, but need more power supply than 280 watts. If you have VISTA, you can check the windows experience index and get 3.5 and 3.7 on a visiontek X1300. Pretty average numbers.
Actually I use Sapphire Technology X1600 Pro HDMI 256Meg and it runs great! I had to take of the metal guard and install the low pro one. But all in all it is a wonderful card. It play CoH at 1024-786 max settings. Can't complain.
