I'm modding the Shuttle in my sig to take a double-width card in the near future (maybe a 10 series if nvidia will hurry up 
), but I'm finding claims of 3.2 - 3.8cm wide on various forums (which matters in my SFF rig). Could somebody please measure their 9800GTX card, or better still GX2 card, and post the width for me? On a GX2 card, I'd need to know the distance from the PCIe card edge to the top of the 2nd slot cooler shroud - sorry if that's a pain.
The Shuttle already has 2 PCIe slots - I'm keeping one of the 8800GT cards because I have 3 monitors. Basically, I want to keep my PSU horizontal and upside down, so the PSU fan is pulling heat off the MB chipset - and more importantly, leaves room in the top of the case for my 120mm blow-hole, but I think the case is about 3/16" too narrow for that arrangement
I'm starting to look at PCIe risers - but that's just madness :sparta:
Thanks!
