Hi all,

I have my eye on a HD6870 for my PC, but I fear it may be slightly too long.

I have 244mm available in my small case.

Is there anything you know of at comparable performance/price that will definitely fit?

Thanks for your help!
 
I would look at the asus GTX560 directcu...

basically the same on power but the 560 is very short, i have one and fits in my shinobi easily enough
 
Hi Skully, the actual card is 242mm, it's the plastic shroud that takes it over, if your not too bothered about the shroud it could be shortened at the end with the use of a dremmel.
 
Thanks hyperst, I'm not trying to evade you merely keeping my options open!

My original offer still stands if you can wait and don't get a better one in the meantime :)

Edit : Cinderz, according to the Asus website the GTX560 is 10.16 inches long which is 258mm!

*** Please keep your MM talk in the MM **
