Video card

Post by Harabakc »

So my buddy ordered a new machine last week, it got delayed. It got delayed because the mid-tower case he picked wouldn't fit his video card, this is why...

Yup, the new generation VGA cards are notoriously large. There was a time when the card would be only slight longer than the PCI/AGP/PCIe plug, but those days are mostly over for the higher end cards.

Still not as large as my full PCI size RAID card though :P.
