Recommend me a card pleeze ^_^

I posted a few months ago that I bought a new graphics card for my pc, but it wouldn't fit in it cuz I have the Dell 4600C (The smaller version)
Here's a review that I found for the 4600C computer:http://www.hardwarecentral.com/hardwarecentral/reviews/4912/1/

In the review it says:

"And the low-profile case has room for just one half-height PCI card and an optional, half-height AGP alternative to the Intel 865G chipset's integrated graphics -- there's neither provision nor physical space (nor power, with a 160- instead of 250-watt power supply) for ample expansion."

You guys know of any decent "Half-height" AGP or PCI graphics cards that will get me better gaming graphics? I'd like to keep the price in the $150 range -in other words I don't want anything really fantastic but I want something better than the Intel card that came with my PC.

EDIT: The link's messed up, here's a pic of wut my pc looks like

Last time I checked the graphics card that my brother has, which is an NVIDIA Geforce FX 5600 was less then $150. But that was on Ebay. That graphics card has very good gaming quality (at least compared to mine). But don't think that you have one of the worst cards ever, i have an Intel 82845G, worse then yours. If you have a slow processor (like a intel pentium 3 or celeron), then if you have the money, i would recommend saving up for a new computer, I would recommend getting an alienware one for around $800 and use the same monitor you have. If you have a decent processor and REALLY don't want to spend the money, get the graphics card.

If you have decided to do that, you just took advice from a 12 year old. Congratulations.

OH WAIT! I didn't read all of your post... Sorry. I'm not sure what AGP or PCI or any of that is, I just know the graphics cards. Sorry, im not sure if that will work or not but im done.

Conclusion:
Don't take advice from 12 year olds.

but will that card fit in my PC? It looks like it might be small, but in the description I don't see that it's "Half size"
I do however like the price tag on that :P If you haven't noticed, I play alot of WoW (My sig), will this card do the job? Right now I got an intel Extreme Graphics card or somethin, I dont even know hehe. I g2g I will check in a few

i know this sounds like a drastic solution but you could probably get a larger case and eitehr transfer the insides to a new case urself, or have ur local computer shop do it.

then you won't have to worry about heat issues because of a small case.

too small of cases with good cards can lead to heat isssues so i would do that otherwise ur gonna have to think about the heat....

and this plus a new BETTER card could be anywhere from (dependent on quality of case) 200-600 dollars.

if anyone wants to correct me go ahead(on cost)

oooOOoo I never thought of moving my pc into a Bigger case... Thanx for the suggestion, I think I might check into the price of that.

Go for another case if you can... slimline cases are very limiting as your finding out.
