The 8800 GTX is huge...really huge!

Just wanted to send out a heads up that I had to buy a new case to hold this monster. eVGA 8800 (GTX p/n 768-P2-N831) 10.5" or 266.6mm. Note that I could have cut some stuff out of the way. I chose the CoolerMaster Stacker 830 instead( I was overdue for an upgrade). I might bury myself in this thing and save on the coffin down the road. Power is also some thing to consider. You'll need at least 550 to run at least ONE of these monsters .(I'm sure someone will say they did it with less...lol). Hope this helps someone that might be thinking of upgrading....Happy Thanksgivings to all in advance.
