Cool. Mine is on the way...should be here by Wednesday.

Got the system and opened her up this evening. Looks like there's just over 10.5" before the Sata cables running from the MB to the HDD and DVD will cause a problem. But there is more room worst case if needed.

Thanks for the info. I may pull the trigger on this one.

True, the one I linked to isn't...but lehtv posted this dual fan XFX a bit lower down. The price is good, but it is a bit longer than the single fan 6870 so I'm not sure if it will work. I believe the cards that dell offers are ~9".

I guess I can chat with a Dell rep...hopefully they will have the maximum dimensions for a video card handy.

Interesting...nice price. But, will it fit in my 8300 case? 10.3" seems pretty long.

The XFX was the one I was originally leaning towards, but then I read about some bios issue that affects this particular card. Apparently there's a fix, but I'm not so sure I want to have to deal with all that.

Just bought a new Dell XPS 8300. From my research it appears that the most powerful card that will play nice with Dell's stock 460W PSU is the Radeon 6870. But there are quite a few choices and I haven't been able to pull the trigger. I've been looking at: XFX and PowerColor and Sapphire...
