microATX question

[Transerver]

would a card like a 8800gt fit in a microATX case? They seem kinda small

Thanks

What case in particular? Some cards might be too long to fit.

From what I can find online, the card is 9" long, so it will be as wide or wider than your motherboard. It took some searching, but I finally found a good shot of the side of it open with the motherboard tray still in it... it looks like the card will fit, but it won't leave much room.

Yea, you might be cutting it close.

remember, if it needs a pci-e power cable, you need room for that too.
