    Hey all, as some of you know I'm making a HTPC and it's going to be a pretty tight squeeze for everything, I WAS going to get the 8800GT, but I'm not sure how big it is lengthways

    Can anyone give me an idea? I'm wondering about the 8400GS, 8500GT and 8600GT as well (I assume they're the same length) if anyone can help with those too:)


    Thanks all
    Sharn

    They're almost certainly not the same length, your best bet is to find a review and see if they list dimensions, or failing that see how close it comes to the edge of the motherboard.

    Why do you want a 8800GT in a HTPC? thats overkill IMO.

    well I don't yet, I'll probably upgrade it to a gaming PC over time (I've got plans for an immense amount of airflow) but it'd be nice to boast that I've got one

    I was actually hoping that some people on here might be kind enough to break out the tape measure for me:p
