      From the Specs page:
      PCI: 1 slot - - - - For My Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value
      PCIe x1: 3 slots - - - The only cards I have currently I won't need because this thing already has E-SATA and Firewire Ports
      PCIe x8: 1 slot
      PCIe x16 (Graphics): 1 slot
      - - - - - --
      Intel® Core™ i7-920 processor(8MB L3 Cache, 2.66GHz)
      4 cores 8 threads
      - - - - - - -


      When I upgrade the graphics card to a dual DVI card, this one will go in my dimension 8400.

        Congratulations! I've been a good boy at work and I can order a new rig for myself to replace crappy Celeron 2.2GHz I have there now.

          hm..wonder why they don't offer any 5700 series cards as an option....

            I also finally took the dive. Just placed my NewEgg order (preffer building my own).

            WAY past due for an upgrade.
            Not the hottest system out there, but a good sight better than the clunker I'm running now.

              There's about 9 of those in my basement. Need to get rid of them at a yard sale.

                    Very similar to configuration we buy for developers at work. Except we give them Quad CPU and low-end videocard.

                        A good friend (some of you may remember him....Rags (yes, he still lives )) helped me choose these components. Many of the same parts he runs.
                        (these days I work with Rags, and deal with him several times a day (God help me ))

                        I can't wait till my parts get here.
                        I'll be able to game again!
                        This cluncker rig I have now crashes several times a night now just browsing. Won't run any modern game without lockups.

                        Lookin forward to a more modern system!

                          Looking around for a single slot DIrectX 11 card but I could not find one. Probably a good idea to wait for that I suppose.

                              Most have fans that stick out so far that they take up two slots.
                              Found this one but it only has one 1 DVI. I wonder if the display port clones the DVI port or if it is independant?
