That thing is tiny. No idea how it performs against the full sized card, but I'm sure it will fit any case

The reviews I've read on that card Salty have been fairly favorable. Again, they came up with a custom cooling that required them to also design a custom PCB. Most OEMs start using reference cooling and reference PCB. Some only do this... but most develop custom cooling or custom PCBs (or both) to help differentiate their product from their competitors. Some do it for performance. Some do it for looks.

That card looks perfect. Unfortunately it is going to have to wait for another month. Found a deal too good to pass up on a canon t3 slr ($279 no tax free ship amazon). We have our first baby on the way and no good camera so I figured I better get it while I can. Who knows by the time I get taxes done maybe the 760's will have come down a bit or something new and improved will hit the shelves. Thanks for the input though will help me out when the time comes.

Got a eVGA GTX 570 originally which is still working and has been for years. Bought a Zotac GTX 570 later (about 1/3 the length of the eVGA) to do SLI. Zotac failed in less than a year. RMA'd it. Took a bit over a month. They were going to send me a GTX 650 to replace it since it was a "better performing card". I sent them a bunch of benchmarks to show them that was incorrect. They then sent me a GTX660ti saying that's the one they originally meant to send me. They didn't have any GTX 570's... So now I can't do SLI but the 660ti is a nice replacment.

Would I buy Zotac again? Leaning towards no. They took care of me and replaced the card but it shouldn't have failed in the first place.

What case do you have? If I was buying a $350 GPU and it didn't fit, a new case would be in order.
