I think you can find a worthwhile MX card in PCI, not sure if it'll be a GF2 MX or a GF4 MX..
edit: Newegg has a PCI Geforce2 MX400 here

Not sure, but I remember reading somewhere that the v5 5500 PCI spanked any other PCI card, primarily cuz there were only a few nVidia PCI cards around, and they were all 16 or 32 meg cards, and also of an MX flavor. Considering I picked up the v5 for under 90 bucks, I thought it was the better deal.
So I've got it pumping monitor #2 at 1600x1200 rez, and doing a fine job at displaying all of my games (yes, I still have all my old Glide games...so shoot me...). Does fine with Wolfenstein, too.
Don't get me wrong, nVidia makes fine cards. And their drivers are excellent (unlike certain other card manufacturers I won't mention cough ati cough)

RADEON 7000 a.k.a. RADEON VE comes in a PCI version.
Also 32 meg SDR Radeon: http://www.ati.com/products/faqs/radeonfaq.html#7
And some older Matrox support PCI.

That's the newer version of Shuttles Cube bare-bones case. 
Very cool.

What a beast! Soon we'll need another case just to house a video card at this rate.

Nah. The Voodoo 5 were well known to be large. Even the GeForce 4 Ti4600 are pretty long. Good news is future videocards are coming out on a smaller fab size-that being .13 micron. That means higher clocked videocards that run cooler. With the added complexity the NV30 and R300 will have, a smaller fab size will be a good thing.Originally posted by EvilHorace

Yea, the voodooline is very nice for pci actually. they dont use any of the agp stuff on therer cards but were still acceptable on playing, pop that into a pci slot where the card was designed for and it is a Nice card...but I mean, comon.
