- Most accelerator cards are a tad longer than the motherbord, but the fit cos
- the case is quite a bit bigger than the motherboard. My viper is around 1-2 cm
- bigger, but I got it into a mi_d_itower case - just! It lays on it's front
- edge, sockets pointing upwards, and it extrudes from the back about 2cm, so I
- just made a little ally box and taped it over. Looks the biz. It's damn
- crowded in there with just 2 floppies, HD, PSU and the board though.
