WTB: Cheap Internal PCI-E x1 Sound Card Low Profile

I need a basic low profile video card to support my monitors. Dual DVI preferred but open. No gaming necessary.

I just replaced my desktop with a small form factor and the HD3850 (GECUBE Radeon HD3850 256MB 256-bit (GC-HD3850PG3-D3R)) doesn't fit which I used to connect to my 2 X DVI monitors. How would I connect my dual monitors to a displayport? Doesn't it make sense to just install a cheap low profile?
