Video card dimensions

If anyone has access to any of the following video cards and could measure dimensions for me, I'd be very grateful. I'm checking for fit in a G4 Cube. Length and height (from the bottom of the AGP connector to the top of the card; the bracket doesn't matter) would be very helpful.



Radeon 8500

Radeon 9000

GeForce4 MX

GeForce3



These are all the Apple OEM cards, BTW. Thanks!

    I know that the GeForce 3 fits in the Cube, maybe without any hacking. But you'll pay a small fortune for it, because lots of Cube owners know that and they're willing to pay top dollar for one



    Your other alternatives are a Radeon (special Cube one), Rage 128 (bleh), and GeForce 2MX (about the same as the Radeon but fanless).



    I don't know about the rest. I don't think they'll fit but maybe with some cutting, etc...

    Does anyone know which Macs the Radeon 7500 was standard on? Or was it just BTO?

    Right, I included the Radeon 8500 and GeForce3 as baselines because they're the biggest cards that will fit (with and without modification, respectively).



    ziploc, thanks for the tip, but I know which cards are *supposed* to fit... now I'm interested in which cards *will* fit. I just ordered a Radeon 9000 (looks to be the same size as the 8500), so I guess one way or the other I'll know soon.



    JCGantner, IIRC it was only available as a BTO option on the first Quicksilver G4s.

    Too bad, they are probably hard to get ahold of then.

    If you're in the market, I know someone who is looking to sell his. I believe he's expecting to get $200+ though (and no doubt will). His email is kunga#futuremedia.org (with an @ obviously).

    It was standard on the 800MHz (single processor) Quicksilver PowerMac, the low end model released January this year.

    Thanks G-News! I just got mine and it looks like it will barely fit once I Dremel out the bottom plate to fit the connectors.
