Size Matters

[Mosad]

I own a shuttle as is stated in my Signature... and for those of you who are familiar with the case... will the gainward powerpack ultra 2400 golden sample fit? Here is a

link. For a reference, i currently run the original ATI 9800xt in there... and any card such as the XFX, BFG, Evga will fit... i am only worried about the thickness of the golden sample....

I would really prefer purchasing this card as it is the most powerful and has the best cooling in the group... yet i worry about size.

All reponses are welcome, needed, and greatly appreciated.

Thank you all

I have the Gainward card. Its a good size card, I can attest to that. Its so long is barely fits in my Lian Li mid tower case. Another half cm and my IDE drives would be in the way.

To answer your question, no. I do not think it will fit in the your shuttle case. The Gainward card is a two slot design, so I don't think it will fit in your case.

thank you... length has nothing to do with it... it only comes down to width.

Anyone else?

Like I said, its a two slot design. Roughly the same size as any other two slot card.

Isn't the AGP slot on that shuttle box right near the bottom of the case? If so, I don't think it will fit.

yes it is... unfortunately

do you have a dremel? you can make anything fit if you do

Best card you could probably stick in there then is a X700 or 6600 card, I think.

i can fit many other 6800GT models in there that are not dual slot... why go to x700? theres no point in that... and i dont want to use a dremel to cut into my case... and have the vid card protrude

Extend the side with some replacement material? May I recommend papier mache?

Gaywad Golden Shower is such bad name. Oh wait, it's not that at all... it's just what I think everytime I see it. I guess you will too from now on.

Wow, you have gotten some really stupid responses to a simple question... Sorry...

I assume you aren't very impressed with the reference cooler, have you considered getting a card with a reference cooler, and swapping the heatsink inside with a copper sink from eVGA?
