TINY VIDEO CARD??
« on: June 13, 2008, 07:14:43 PM »
ok
I just built my first computer 2 days ago and It works fine. With onboard video at least.

But I bought a XFX GeForce 8400 PCI Express x16 video card and it is way to big.

I have a mATX computer and an Inwin case but it is only 3.6'' thick and my video card is like 6''.

There obviously isn't enough room in the case but I'm confused.

I was searching newegg.com for any video card small enough but there wasn't any.

Is it impossible to get a video card that fits the case? I HOPE not.


I was just wondering if the type of video card has some special form factor name or something.
PLEASE HELP!    :wacko:

I think you need a low profile adapter bracket.

no thats not what I need

I mean I would have to cut a hole in the case to fit it in
the video card is too tall

I need to know where to find a video card that sits only about half the hight of normal cards

Just check the Damn dimensions, measure the space you have, then find a card which is less than it.
