Or if you want something much better than a crappy 8139 I got a dlink
DFE-530TX in a box, which came with both a normal and a low profile
bracket for the back so it would go in either case size.  A few cards
are starting to ship that way now.

I imagine current versions of the 3c905 are even small enough to fit in
a low profile case.
