  |  Thanx all I just bought a Saphire X800GTO2 video card. And based on everything I have read I was planning to put in my Shuttle. Guess what? You got it. It doesn't fit. This Shuttle can not take PCI Express cards. I am so bumbed out I can't belive it. I even think Glitterkill wrote in his review that is was SFF friendly. Guess I have to wait for a new computer. SIGH

  |  Re: I'm sooooooooooo pissed I just reviewed his article and didn't see anything about SFF friendly. Maybe I overlooked it. However, SFF friendly and proprietary are two different things. What you are describing is called displaced anger. You cannot take the blame for your own mistakes or lack of research, therefore you place the blame upon someone else.

| Re: I'm sooooooooooo pissed Oh, I'm not blaming anyone but myself. I'm just mad at me and I needed to vent. BTW in the middle of this page is where GK mentions his Shuttle. PCApex.com - Sapphire X800 GTO2 PCIe VGA Card "Something that makes SFF case owners very unhappy. I am happy to report that the X800 GTO2 should be very SFF friendly. It fit inside my Shuttle SB81P perfectly." Still my fault. Wonder if I should keep it. or sell it here?

| Re: I'm sooooooooooo pissed I took a picture but can't upload it. But it's too long on the left (back) side. I saw that Newegg had an open box X800gto2 for $100 so I grabbed it not realizing that it was a PCI express and I needed an AGP. I'm a Dork. Now I'll be lucky to get $50 for it. And I can't return it I took off the logo for better cooling. Although if I order another one and switch the metal fan plate I can return it within 14 days.

| PcApEX's PuNK ROckER  | Re: I'm sooooooooooo pissed i read this and it made me a bit mad... You are complainng that the Video card doesnt fit inside your case.. but yet you didnt take mesurements, or even bother to look to see if you had a PCIe Slot? i read the review on the card.... What made it so "freindly" was the fact that the stock cooler took only one "pci slot" space.. What i would do is look for a good agp version of the video card.. ignore the cooler... and buy an aftermarket one that can fit in only one slot. Sorry to vent.. it feels like a monday for me

   | Re: I'm sooooooooooo pissed So the only fit issue you had is that you don;t have a PCIe slot, right?  That's not a fit issue, it's a compatibility issue.
