hmm
Here is a pic of what the inside of my computer looks like:
I have circled in red the area where the GPU goes.
Do you reckon an 8800 GTS will fit in here?
I am worried by the small distance between the CPU heatsink and where the cooling fan will go, because it is a dual slot card

any ideas?
 
hmm
will try tonight....
People have said that it is ok, but I would like some advice from the experts here :D
 
Saw a video review online and it looks like there's space for the cooler to fit however i would be concerned at the proximity of the cpu cooler to the intake of the 8800's cooler.

I'll see what else i can find!

Got some screen grabs and pasted them together. Height looks like the 8800 will clear the cpu cooler. Still concerned about the fan hole on the 8800.

Is your card the same one here?

Cant see those screenies as they are blocked by my school network, will check tonight.
I am mainly worried about the fact that the fan will be too close to the cooler, and so wont be able to suck air in as easily....

My Card IS the same caerd show in that pic...
Will I be ok?
Or am I restricted to single slot cards?
