i think its nearly impossible to find a card without external connectors... but you can cut off the "head" of the linked card...

just saw off the unneeded pcb part with the connectors, then check if there is a short circuit somewhere on the cutted edge - scratch it with a knife if required, than put it into the pci slot, and fix it with fishing line...
