New GPUs extend FAR beyond the HEIGHT of the PCI bracket.
This is a problem for some cases, but information on the height of the card isn't available - there's no way to ensure compatibility.
There's currently PCI, and Low-Profile PCI, but should there be a larger standard too... that would allow better GPU cooling, and you would know if your card and case conformed to that standard.
To get a better idea of what I mean, look at the Asus 280X
And I'm talking in context of the Antec P193. Which isn't small.
