Well, it may seem to big at first. You usually have luck if you try to gently but firmly work it in there, being careful not to be too forceful and hurt something...


In all seriousness, are you saying the PCI slot doesn't fit? Or that it just genuinely is too tall for the case?

Brophessor Jimmy strikes again.

too tall for the case. I measured my case and at max there is 11" room for graphic card (from the backside of the case to that last available point). I should have bought a better case at first...
 
haven't got any GPU yet though. It seem GTX760 fits, but ATI R9 280-290 are longer than that. I don't know what to do...

Dont buy anything that wont fit, it simply wont work if there is no room.

Does your case have a removably HDD cage and if so, can it be relocated somewhere else so the GPU will fit?

 

If not, you're out of luck, get a bigger case.

@E-Ro, Yes, it's a simple rule of physics... it doesn't fit!

If not, you're out of luck, get a bigger case.

 

Yeah, probably gonna get a headphone and an external HDD with my money. Can't spend that much money on a new case and also get a graphic card and go through all that Exodus to the new case...

 

Oh wait... there is mini GPUs for ATX cases. Can I use them and are they efficient?

Something like this:

 

6233_02_msi_geforce_gtx_760_2gb_mini_itx

GTX 760 2GB MINI-ITX Gaming OC

 

 

I don't know if there is mini ones for better graphic cards.

A few things I'd like thoughts on fellow geeks and geekettes....

Is it fair that now content providers are using the courts, at least over here to get ISPs to cough up users who have been illegally downloading their products and demanding damages?

Never done illegal downloads so I fail to feel sorry for anyone caught

and

Why is software like games and applications the only kind of product where you buy it but you don't actually own it outright, as in you can't do what you want with it due to things like EULA's and such?

You wouldn't download a helmet filled with poo.

 

As for content providers suing pirates for damages, whether this is okay rather depends on the amount being demanded, and if the user already owns a license for another copy of said content. If they're suing pirates for more than what they'd be fined for stealing it in a physical format, that's kinda messed up. There's something called the Eight Amendment.

 

The thing that makes stealing digital content different from stealing physical content is that when you steal digital content, the people you're stealing from haven't lost anything, it costs them nothing to make another copy. If you steal a DVD, it costs them money to burn another, package it, and ship it to Wal-Mart. It could be argued that in both cases, the content creators lose the money that the thief otherwise would have payed for it if they had not been able to steal it. However, I find the claim that digital content creators actually *lose* every dollar that they would have charged for the stolen content extremely dubious. After all, pirates on average spend far more money on digital content than other consumers already. If piracy was impossible, they might not be able to afford to spend much more on digital content than they already are paying. I'm not saying they're entitled to the content they steal, I'm just saying that the content creators wouldn't necessarily be making more money.

 

As for downloading another copy of something you own a license for another copy of, it's illegal, but it's far from immoral. From my point of view if I already own a copy of Pokemon Blue, it's none of Nintendo's business if I run a jailbroken copy on my phone. If I already own Starship Troopers on DVD, Sony Pictures has no business telling me I can't make a copy and watch it on my iPod. If I bought a copy of Call to Honor: Modern Warbattles, the %^&*you Buy More Games Corporation has no business telling me I can't delete the files that prevent me from playing it offline. Unfortunately, I cannot legally do any of these things, because the Digital Millennium Copyright Act makes it illegal to bypass DRM.

 

Why is software like games and applications the only things you can't own outright? You have the USA's one dollar one vote system of politics to thank for that. You can't own the digital media you've purchased because that's the way the Motion Picture Cartel of America and the Recording Industry Cartel of America like it.

That is one of the most well worded posts I have read on BSN..

 

The MPAA and RIAA are by their very nature cartels. 

 

Howcome indie developers are less worried about their precious code when they sell programs?

 

Yes we have this system because the general public allow it. No one ever complains.

 

On another note  if Windows 10 flops MS might change the way they license stuff......

 

OH and I love these parodies

Pirate everything.

Complain when all you get are unoptimized ports and consolized garbage.

There's a mini R9 285 and GTX 970 but they're the only ones I know of.

If I were to pirate, I'd do it in the event that the product otherwise wasn't available to me. Or is only available at an outrageous price tag, or with french subtiles, or both. NOTHING SPECIFIC I'M TALKING ABOUT HERE. I'd also use a VPN which more or less allows for anonymous web browsing.

Thought of your post as I read this article.

https://www.eff.org/...ms-and-archives

Apparently restoring functionality to old games where the publishers no longer support it, is "hacking" and "piracy". Even if it's a Museum or Archive doing it to preserve history. Lol.

Also, due to the way it's worded, it also makes you an illegal pirate hacker if you try to work around DRM.

Fun times. So if you've ever attempted to bypass DRM on games you own, you're basically stealing them. Lol.

You are looking in the wrong place. Look up free software foundation or download Ubuntu. It offers a lot of options for free software

Ubuntu is ugly and confusing. Mint XFCE is a much better starter distro.

I disagree. I never found it confusing myself, the UI needed work but that could also stem for my hatred for GNOME. Underlying strucuture is usually similar for these linux OS's with just a few customized modules so at the end of the day for a standard user and depending on what you are doing it doesn't really matter

I never found Ubuntu confusing  .....It takes getting used to.  But I'd like to see Linux offer some support for things like steam, Origin, or Uplay then I could move all my games over and live in Ubuntu..... 

 

I already have OpenOffice on there so I'd be set.
