This is exactly what I'd do. A PCI-E slot powered card will be max of about 75 watts (the max a single PCI-E slot can deliver), and is pretty much assured to work with just about any power supply.

Realistically, if the card needs additional power connections, its going to be unsuitable due to the smallish power supply, and probably also cooling (those slim case machines don't move a ton of air)
