what slimline graphics card?

[neil_g]

im failing miserably at figuring this out for myself..

im after a slimline (fan/heatsink cannot extend past the pci backplate) pci-e graphics card to fit in a small form factor ITX system.

require dual DVI sockets for twin screens and ability to play games like modern warefare would be nice.

chipset is nvidia and i have an onboard nividia card which is SLi'able if that makes any difference. although to be honest i'll probably disable the onboard to get my memory back.

suggestions?

I read a review of the card and it looked really great. Can't remember the brand though, and googling for "slimline gtx 260" doesn't bring up much :/
Worth a look into though!

Edit: Googling for "single slot geforce 260" brings up plenty. It was this, wasn't it? http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=816
God knows if it's available over here though...
Edit: It has a DVI and HDMI... would require an adaptor :O

I think the 8800gt cards are only single slot..

XFX Radeon HD 4850 512MB is single slot

The single slot design enables easy three and four-way CrossFire assembly

i think the GTX 260 is going to be too long.. this is the amount of space I have..

 

[Phatzy]

it should fit, but that hard drive looks like could block that 9800 gt too

 

[neil_g]

im thinking i could flip the HD for a little extra space

 

[neil_g]

coming back to this.. i have 20cm/8inch of space to play with.. a XFX Radeon HD 4850 512MB wont fit at 23cm.

id be interested to hear what other ITX users are using as a PCI-E graphics card..
