New 9800GTX Won't Fit!

[The Bakery]

Computers are meant to do whatever the user decides they should do.

Especially in the enthusiast arena.

Let the kids put glowing alien water coolers in their computers if they
want to. Office computers are meant to be unassuming boxes stuffed
under desks.

Some people want to show off what they just spent all their $$ on!!!

That being said, I don't have a fancy case, but the thing DOES have
on hell of a bright HD LED. I've seen it in my dreams.

Seriously.

Mine fits just fine.

make sure you get one of the new "dual-core" models (identical twins)... twice the fun

Or twice the pain and suffering, depending your point of view

OMFG clean out that Big Typhoon!

For Buck Armstrong, the solution is to get a single slot 8800GT (or even 9600GT) so that it fits in the case and doesn't cover up the SATA ports on your motherboard. Then, pocket the extra $150-200 and call it a day.

I wasn?t going to, but I did end up cleaning it while I had the chance.

Ok I have nothing in the upper drive bay cage so I hope my 9800GTX when it gets here anyway fits in my p182 case....

just to throw it out there, it fits just fine in a cheapie Coolermaster 330 case. might have to move your HDD(s) depending how many you've got and where. i just did some cable management yesterday and it looks a lot better.

I never got those jokes... if you think women are pain and suffering consider homosexuality. If you think only MARRIAGE is pain and suffering, consider a life of bachelorhood / divorce.

I'd prefer the option of dating and not paying alimony before I make the jump to dudes.

I was looking at buying a GTX280 and have an Antec Solo case. Will my new graphics card fit?

Thats a sickner mate, what are you going to do ?

Take it back or upgrade your case and mobo?

It took me weeks to find a case my wife would allow in the house... now I have to either get rid of her or find a new case she likes.

Heh. I'd say it's a slam dunk, wouldn't you? :laugh: Damn battleaxes gettin' between a man and his upgradin' obsession. Beeyotch.
