You're right, Christopher. The F9595 has a full-length bracket. I do have some P4007 with the half-height bracket. Also ATI Radeon, but X300 chip. Cards have an ATI part number on them, but the markings do not look like the usual ATI contract manufacturer... Ben

I found a low profile (w low profile bracket) ATI Radeon X1300 PCI-E X16 card on eBay for $12.99. It works great in my Optiplex 620 SFF Dell. I recently gave away an Optiplex GX280 SFF and found an nVidia 7200 card for it on eBay. They are out there.
