Someone mentioned that some cases have trouble fitting the 8800 gts, i was wondering if anyone knew if the apevia x-plorer would fit it, or how to tell if it will fit.

Thanks

Measure how much room you have between the back of the case, to the front where the HDDs mount, or whatever is there in that case.

The GTS is the length of a 7900GTX or X1950XTX...is it 10.5 inches?? not sure.

well, i don't own either yet, so i have nothing to measure. It sounds like it's the GTX that has the fitting issues

Mine fits in my p180 case just fine. I just had to remove the drive trays from the middle bracket. I can't mount any drives in that middle bracket however, I have to use the lower one.

I use 2 HDDs in the middle rack with my 8800GTS. The power cable(not the connector) for the card has to rest in between the drives though.
