btw the reviews lie about crysis
crysis and C warhead work fine for me.

pros: its only 90 bucks and its i gb and nice

cons: not to powerful, cant run crysis without lag in high graphics settings
low runs fine

it runs all valve game just perfect.

i paid 100$ like 2 months ago
also finding the good driver for it takes some time
it works fine with the one that comes with it but there is a better one

That is my current case that I got if that helps out at all.
I don't really see how the card'll be too big. It's 4 inches long, 3.5 inches tall, the fan's under an inch and a half wide...as long as you're not trying to toss two cards in there it'll be fine.
my 8800 is pretty huge, everyone told me it was big but you dont relize it until you try closing your case lol

They're about on par with an 8800/9800GT, but I can't find any 8800/9800 that have good reliability for the same price.
