Maximum gpu size for inspiron 660

[TheKormerican]

I've been searching all over the place for the maximum gpu size the dell inspiron 660 (not the slimline, the mini tower) can hold and if possible the dimensions be in inches. The reason why is that I want to know if this graphics card will fit: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127728.

If this card doesn't fit a recommendation for a card around $100-$175 that does fit in the computer will be appreciated. I'm not concerned about the power consumption because I'll buy a new one if necessary.

There are three variations on system specs, but the physical specs are the same :

(H) 14.45 in x (W) 6.89 in x (D) 17.32 in
Weight: 17.41 lb

GPU dimension : 9.25" x 4.93" x 1.41"

I think the chosen GPU will fit, but not sure, so cut a cardboard of the same size of GPU, place inside the cabinet, and look for yourself if it will fit or not before buying. Good luck.

That card should fit. Just to be sure, try measuring from the PCI slot on the case for 9.25 inches. If you have more than 9.3, you should be fine.

You could even get a bigger card, and remove that hard drive cage. Simply using Velcro or even black electrical tape should affix your hard drive to the bottom front of the case.
