8800GT length

It will fit in any modern case ... such as the Antec SLK 1650B.
But don't put a hard drive in line with the pci-e slot. It is as long
as a standard ATX mobo that uses the backmost mounting
standoffs, but the 6 pin cable is even longer. It will not fit in
older cases where the drive bays extend over the back of the
mobo .. or over those rear standoffs. I'm just too lazy to open
my box and measure it.

I think it's as long as the 8800 GTS, but shorter than the 8800 GTX ? I
would like to know too, because a 8800 GTX wouldn't fit in my case

The reference design PCB is 229 mm, or 9" long.

The non-reference PCB from Gigabyte is shorter. From my measurements
of the card from the available pictures (e.g.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125081 ),
its length is 210 mm +-5 mm.

The ATI 3850/70 cards are long, too. They are of the same length as
the reference 8800GT cards. However, here is the very short non-
reference design 3850 card (something like 190 mm long),

Actually, all of these ATI cards are using the PCB developed by the
Taiwanese company Triplex. It also produces the "short" 3850 and 3870,
as was announced on 2 January 2008, http://www.triplex.com.tw/english/products/ati/hd3870.htm

I wonder where I could get this card (short 3870, that is) ? Will it
be exported to North America/Australia/Western Europe ??? When ??

Im looking for a short 3850 with 512MB too. It should replace my old GF
7950, which is 20cm long. A longer card would not fit in my Arctic
Cooling T1 case. The 3850 from Powercolor is shorter, but its fan is
loud and doesnt power down.

Galaxy mnakes one that is non reference with a Zalman like HSF and is
shorter than most of the others. I have that one and an Asus 8800GT and had
no problems fitting either into my PC's. The 7950GX2 I used to have was
quite a bit longer than 8800GT.

Should be a good replacement, even my 3850 256mb outperforms the 7950
gx2 .
