Will this video card fit in my Dell 531s(slim)?

Question

I'm going to go all out and put everything in a new case so i can get what i really want but i cant do that till the warranty is out(lets just say i got out voted) so until then i want to get a video card for it, it has to be a half height(low profile) card so im thinking one of these...

will it fit? and if so, where can i get a low profile bracket that will fit my Dell? because the one on that website on of the buyers said it didn't fit his Dell 531s, so is there one that will?

also does this card need more than 250w? it doesn't say and thats all i have and i cant upgrade it(yet)


My Specs are

250Gb HDD (Hard Drive),
3GB RAM (memory),
2 processors running AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 2.01 GHz (Performance Rated at 5.70 GHz),
NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE (GeForce 6150SE nForce 430),

They well work, but like it shows they don't come with the brackets.  
What are you buying this graphic card for?  This isn't really going to play that great of games now days anyway???
Just save up and wait for the new computer and get better graphics. 

Try newegg.com they should have half height cards with the brackets.

the geforce 7300 or 7100 is the quite the same as ure 6150se but alittle faster. just maybe 3-5 fps faster. So dont even spend 50bucks on that card dude. I just orderd a 7600gt by EVGA for 66bucks and it rates pretty top of the best mid range cards. 

ure specs are really good. Just u know keep ure system in top condition by defragging ure harddrive every week or waterver suits u. 

Now I dont know the inside of ure dell case. But iv seen the case images. Seems to me that it might fit. 50% chacne it iwll fit. get this video card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130062

I do have self assurance that pc makes use of a prevalent 250 watt ATX PSU. at the same time as rather low, it could take care of a Radeon HD2400PRO, 3450, or 8400GS, the merely right enjoying cards that truthfully are available a low profile card variety. All are rather undesirable for gaming, yet severely greater useful than 6150 integrated. assume to pay approximately 30$.

Low profile bracket is not included, but may be purchased separately.

This will work for you. Just use the 2 on the right (pictured) and stack them. You will need two of the back slots open though to do this.

Low profile card and no low profile bracket, you will have to mod the bracket or buy one from here.
