Welcome to Cube ownership :)

Honestly, if you're just going to watch movies, you should be fine with 
the stock card. The only benefit you would get is a snappier UI if 
you're using OS X.10.2.

If you want to upgrade for the snappier UI, The best silent card to get 
would be the Apple OEM Radeon 7500 (which I'm sure kunga will plug any 
minute now...;), otherwise, the Apple OEM nVidia GeForce2 MX is a 
perfect fit in the cube.

The 7500 fits in the cube, but you either need to modify the cards 
bracket, or take it off and not use it at all. I have a 7500, and use 
it with a small piece of a bracket on one side (VGA side...I'll take 
pictures for you if you wish), and it seems to stay in place just fine.
