High performance graphics cards require a bit of space.

What do you mean by "high performanced"

I am not looking for anything super good lol unless a $100 graphics cards is considered high performance. Anyways I am kind of looking for ideas of graphics cards not deciding if the computer can have it installed or not lol.

Your case is about 4 and 1/4 inches wide.

Look at this screenshot.

Where would you put any card? The specs show that it only has a single expansion slot and this is already being used by whatever the hell that green thing connects to.

this picture makes it look even smaller :/ O well lets see what they might say at the store. I still need ideas for a grahics card though.

Network card.

Network card.
Well, thats kind of what it looks like. But they don't advertise it as having two ports, only one, and there's already one on the motherboard (like most modern motherboards).

EDIT:
It's a "56K ITU V.92 ready Fax/Modem (RJ-11 port)"
