Hi Erik,
	Pricewatch is generally where I go.  You can find decent deals...
honestly, even fairly high end PC video cards are going for ~$100, so a
nice card one model back should be considerably lower.  Maybe a Nvidia
GeForce 2 MX200 (which -is- a bit of a gamer card, but also has very
high quality 2d) or a radeon (whateveritwas) would do the trick. 
Personally, I like Nvidia as they put out a linux driver directly from
their site.

Click on 'Video Cards' under multimedia and the little screen below will
pop up with the lowest current price on the particular card.  If you
have any questions about a card in particular, just drop another line.  

GeForce 2 MX400 64M Ram, currently going for $36:
