I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to install a low profile
PCI card into your micro-tower HP, assuming that you haven't already filled
the available slots. Some of these low profile cards come with two,
interchangable brackets. One is taller, for a standard size expansion
slots, and the other is shorter, for use with the half-height expansion
slots.
Perhaps you've already investigated this, but HP does have a fair amount of
documentation on how to service this computer, which may help you know what
to expect as you go about opening it up.
The complete URL is rather long, as seen below. So, here's a smaller

Just out of curiosity, what advantages are you hoping to gain, by installing
a PCI video card, over the integrated video solution?

I have a certain vid card in mind. It is a PCI low profile card. I have
looked in many web sites trying to get info if this card will actually fit
inside this machine. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Link below is
the card I have in mind.
