Title: Graphic card help
Post by: oli887 on July 16, 2008, 08:25:57 AM

Hi, i'd like to buy a new graphic card because i hate the current one. (ATI X1300) I want to get back with Nvidia.
Anyone have ideas about a good one ? I was thinking about the 9800 series, any thought about it ?
 I'd like to spend about 200$ And i think that ill buy it on ebay.

Also i have a Dell slim case and i was wondering if any graphic card will get in there.

Thanks

/me looks down at one of his many slim lines from Dell.

OK I'vegot an ATI card that will fit in that case. Any card should be fine unless the heat sink is too thick as there is barely room for one cardnext to the hdd.

That one looks really thick. But looks like a great card.
BTW what are those weird names ? HS,  ZOGIS...
Ok i got an other idea... How about getting a new case ? How hard is that job ?

Not difficult.  Requires about an hour of work but, you will spend another 40-100 bucks.
