Dell Optiplex 960 SFF

[gilko86]

Hi all,

I have inherited a Dell Optiplex 960 SFF. I would like to add a graphics card, but I'm worried about the size of the case. In the future I may make future modifications so I was wondering looking into a new (bigger) case. Would this be possible? The motherboard is G261D, K075K. http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Motherboard-Optiplex-Factor-Numbers/dp/B00456Z3DE

Thanks in advance.
Alex

Edit - Without thinking ahead, I accidentally purchased the ASUS HD 7750 graphics card (don't laugh!). I will send it back if I can't find a case which fits.

You will probably need a low profile card similar to this one:

Thanks hairystuff, unfortunately the link did not render properly. I'll take a look at the site anyway.

No problem, try this link instead if that one's no good:

I have just stumbled across this thread ans was wondering I have the same computer but was wondering if there was a graphics card that was a bit cheaper?

I don't really play many graphics heavy games but would like an HDMI port...

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Theres this one for $34.12:

but you might be better off with this one instead for $41.24:
