Hi,

I'm thinking of upgrading my GFX card but I want to make sure that I can fit it in the case. The manufacturer (XFX) doesn't mention what length the card is. Any ideas how I can find out without having to buy it? It's the XFX 6200A AGP card

Cheers

Which case do you want to fit it in?

The SB75G2. According to Shuttle, it's max length is 24.5cm

AFAICT the 6200A is not a terribly long card (like the 7800GTX). You should be fine.

It looks to be about 175 mm (6.9 in) long and 89 mm (3.9 in) high.

Thanks folks, you guys are really helpful!

I was wondering about the whole power supply thing. I really don't understand it. So I have the 250W Silent-X PSU. What does that mean in terms of powering GFX cards?

I was looking and some folks say you need a 400W PSU for the higher end GFX cards, except in the case of SFF cases. I think.

Anyone able to explain it to me in simple terms?

Cheers

Usually the power supplies in the sff are a bit better than the ones that come with OEM mfrs. That PSU should be fine with that card. This may help a bit.
