I have been wondering if it will be longer than GTX?
And will it be able to get in to Antec P150?
Thanks.

Not longer. Rumors point to something between 9.5'' and 10''. No confirmations from official sources, though the article Kyle posted, about R600 size and power requirements, did mention something quite larger than the GTX, but it seems that might only be applied to the OEM model of the XTX.
 
Well it wont be longer than 8800GTX that much is pretty much quaranteed.I think they will be 10.5inches long at max, but I think 9.5inches is more closer to the truth. There should be news from Tunisia soon about this matter :)
 
The full length OEM XTX has a different cooler and some straps to keep it from bouncing around and shredding the inside of the computer.
 
the 2900XT's PC board is the same length for either retail/OEM. Not much bigger than a 1900XT actually. The OEM cooler/bracket is alot longer and would make no sense in most cases as there is no case bracket to attach too in standard ATX cases.

The cooler mounts and ram locations look like the same dimensions as the X1900XTs.
 
Really thanks guys!
I have been wondering if I should take the P150 (will buy 2900XT in the summer), and I think now with your posts I will go for it!

Is it known if the Antec Neo 430W could handle it? (E6600,2GB 800mhz, 965 DS-3, 320GB)
If it's not known, thanks anyway! :cool:

I doubt 430W will be enough for the 2900 XT or XTX models. According to rumors, the peak should hover 300W, but from generalized discussion, it should not draw more than 230-250W (just the card). I think you would be better off, by getting something like 550W or above. This is all based on rumors, so take it with a grain of salt, since nothing was officially confirmed by AMD/ATI.
