How big is the X-FI Fatal1ty?

I'm gonna buy one of these with a set of Aego Ms as I'm still using 10 year old Packard bell speakers (the ones that attach to the side of their monitors) which are rubbish.

I'm not sure if it will fit easily in my case though as since I've fit my watercooling gear the pump may be in the way. I looked for the dimesions on the Creative website but can't seem to find them.

Hi there, just taken the cover off my machine and checked for you. I have the Fatal1ty card which measures aprox 6.5" or 16.5cm long. Keep in mind that you will need a little room for the "ide" style cable which connects to the live drive expansion thingy.

I didnt take the card out, as my machine is well loaded up and is quite a hassle. The height is normal PCI height.

I hope this helps a little.

Yeah I think it's gonna be a tight sqeeze...

The third slot down may be an option though but if the pump has to move it has to move.

LOL - I see your point. Very good. Go for Phase change instead, would that free up any more space. ?

Good luck.
