yeah, any newer card should be able to squeeze in there, looks like sufficient room here http://www.support.gateway.com/s/CAS...07057Riv.shtml

The Frisk

Well my old card barely fit in there with a gap under an inch between it and where the hard drive cage is.

mxsuprastang

in reality, there's only one way to find out

The Frisk

And I have a feeling that way will end up costing me quite a bit of money.
Oh well, I'll just continue to call up a few places and see if they can offer any help. Thanks guys.

The Frisk

Nevermind asking at other places, none of them really did much in the way of helping. However, I have one last question. Is there a site that will tell how long each card is, or tell how long some of the cards I've been looking at are?

Look at the card specifications, but I can tell you that anything 8800GT (9800GT) and up is 10.5 inches long. measure manually

The 9800 / 8800GT I believe is like somewhere 2 - 3 inches shorter.

and I wouldn't rely on those employees nor buy from them..
a) overpriced- an old 7300GT at futureshop is $120 ***? gtx 260 @ $320
b) sometimes lie to get sales or don't know enough

for $200, you have two options:
a) be futureproof and get an antec 900 + 9800GT (or just 4670 / 9600GSO)
b) measure manually and hope you have 10.5inch of clearance and go for a gtx 260 / 4870. Remember, you can always move the hard drive up/down to make room

Get a tape measure out, and measure the space you have, and I will tell you if a 4850 will fit in there.

It should, I had an X1900GT not too long ago, and the 4850 is only 1\2" longer I think.

This is actually exactly how I fried my old rig
i accidently bumped the end of the tape measure (metal) into my mobo while i was on *pssssssssssssssss*



Just a note to OP to be careful lol

DO NOT stick anything metal into or near your open case with the power on!!

You have been warned.
