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!

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...

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

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).
<strong>Does anyone know which Macs the Radeon 7500 was standard on? Or was it just BTO?

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

<strong>The Radeon 9000 is 17.3cm long and 9.25cm tall measured without the connector)</strong><hr></blockquote>
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.
