    I was checking the newegg customer reviews on the EVGA 8800 GTS 320mb, over and over again everyone commented on how enormously huge the card was.

    What are the odds I won't be able to make it fit in my case/motherboard? I actually haven't bought the case or motherboard yet, so I'm trying to take this into consideration when purchasing them. Does it look like it will work with this motherboard?

    From what I remember, the 8800's are 10.5" long and are all PCIe x16 only.

    Not being a betting man, I couldn't tell you the odds on a case fit, but a lot depends on the case itself and how the drive bays are set up. You may just need to be a little careful on where you put your hard drive in the bay. I don't want to be vauge, but it's hard to be specific in a very open subject.

    The 8800GTX is 10.5" long but the 8800GTS is 9.5" long (Same length as an X1950Pro) :)
