Thanks!
Because ya know, the thought of replacing the case never occurred to me, haha.
I could potentially just buy a really cheap, but larger case.

Alright, I found a cheap used case that will fit.
Comes with a 300w PSU.

I know 300 isn't much, so I may have to upgrade that too... hmm

Now that I can fit a full size case, what is a good cheap card?

The 4770 is a fantastic budget card. It performs just shy of the 4850 I believe, for a much cheaper price tag. From what I've heard they OC like madmen, past the 4850 in some cases even. Get at least a 450w PSU from a reputable company. Go higher and you'll save money in the long run, but no lower than 450w.

Get the Asus EAH4850 Top/HTDI Radeon 4850 512MB PCI-Express 2.0. You will be really satisfied with this one.

Update folks.
From what I looked up, the Nvidea G100 is equivalent to the 9400GT... which isn't very good at all, haha.

I actually have a 7600GT that I have lying around, which according to this:

Is much better, lol

So I'm going to use that for the time being
I just have to buy a Molex to SATA adapter first to power my HDD and DVD drive

But thanks for the suggestions, I'll bookmark this thread
