For all you 8800 owners.....

i was wondering about case sizes and such. what kind of cases you all using? i hear the gtx's are pretty long. if and when i upgrade, am i gonna need to get a bigger case than the avg mid tower case? if you're wondering, it's an ultra wizard.

I am using the Asus Vento 3600. The 8800 didn't create a problem... though the hard drives had to be placed creatively.

I ave a REALLY old Antec midtower and the 8800 has all kinds of room.

Indeed, a quick googling gave me:

PCB Length = 10.5"
With Bracket = 11.026"
Height (Inside Case) = 4.376"
With Bracket (Partially Hidden) = 4.975"
Width = 1.809"

It had to be slid in at a slight angle to get it in between the back and the drive bay in my 180B. You cannot have both drives mounted in the upper drive cage because the card hits the top mounted HD if present.

Edit: GTX

My GTS fits in the Antec 180 WITH 2 HDDs in the upper cage. The PCI-e power cable rests in between the 2 HDDs.

Lian-Li PC-V1200B Plus and it fit with ease.

The 8800GTS fits in my Lian Li PC-60 Plus with no problems at all. I think my old 6800GS OC was a tighter fit. Also, I think the GTX is 1.5" longer? I'll have to double-check but I'm pretty sure I've got enough room for that as well. The PCI-E power connector on the GTS is on the side of the card (may hit 3.5" or 5.25" drives in the front bays) but the 2x PCI-E power connectors on the GTX are on the top, which helps clearance concerns.
