Looking for a short PCI video card

Looking for a shorter-than-usual PCI video card that has either composite or s-video out. Anyone know of one that'll work?
The PC is an old HP D350 that only has VGA, according to the specs it can use a full-height card up to 5.28in in length. Everything I can find is an inch or so too long.
I know there are converters that can do VGA-to-s-video, but I'd like to keep everything internal if at all possible.

This card doesn't extend very far behind the PCI connector itself. It's just under 5 inches. If you look at PCI cards on Newegg for instance, then probably most of the cards that just stop where the PCI connector stop will be 5 inches or under. "Low profile PCI" is specced to be about 4-6", so you're looking for a card in that subset.
