New card to fit in shuttle.. so size is the issue

[peige]

I've got a Shuttle XPC SD37P2, currently with a Sapphire ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) card in it.

Want to up the graphics if possible but with a shuttle its all down to size of the card... from what I can see some of these cards actually look smaller but its so hard to tell.

Anyone able to guide me on a possible upgrade

Well, if you want AITI, then 4850 would be nice. Fits like a glove.

So the one below looks like it will do the job nicely then..

Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express)

Thinks some of the Palit 4850 cards are shorter compared to most in the series (see here)

Got round to ordering the card this week.. turned up today and they have redisgned it, looks completely different to the picture and the cooler is massive now, no way it will fit in the shuttle. To make matters worse I had to mutilate the box to get it out as it seemed to be glued into the sleeve..

Not a happy bunny here
