Hey all,

I'm building a Myth box to hook up in my living room with an older E-machine PC that has only PCI slots. (no AGP, no PCI-E)

My TV Only Has HDMI/DVI , component, and S-Video (No VGA INPUT :( )

I just cannot see spending $50+ dollars on an outdated video card on Newegg and E-bay offerings seem to be slim as well.

So I thought I'd query the Ubuntu community to see if any body had such a card lying around. I'm not putting TV Tuners in this PC as it will only be built to stream Media to the living room from the network.

I'm located near Jackson, MS to give you shipping Ideas.
Can any body help me?

Thanks much!

I have a ATI radeon 9800se laying around with a DVI output. I'm not sure it works but last time i used it, it did.

I can mail it too you for the price of postage if you want.

This is about the best you're going to get with PCI:

Otherwise, you'll have to downgrade to Radeon 7000/GeForce 2 cards.
