Here.

WTF??????????????????????

Yes.

Though it's worth noting that the retail will be shorter than the 8800GTX (and rumour has it, considerably faster)

That's ridiculous.

haha, that's comical.

I'd have to chop a hole in the front of my Shuttle to fit that fucker in.

I want DX10: I don't want oversized cards or Fista, yet.

Roffle, hell, even the gonk only just allows a foot I think (16-17" if you mod)

Also That

However, I love the idea of a case with the graphics card sticking out of the front through the hard drive bays.

The big beast of a appendage on my current card fills enough of my case!

My Antec midi-tower would fit that, just.

Are they making the OEM version longer, because less amateurs are going to be fitting them? or, because its cheaper, or what?

Seems an odd thing if they're the same specification but rather different sizes.

probably a bigass cooler or something.

Probably to allow manufacturers to develop quieter cooling systems. Also, OEMs can better integrate the hueg cards into their computers. This means they can better utilize the cooling the longer card can give. I know that I can't fit 12.4 inches of card into my PC.

Personally i'd say its just the ultimate E-penis enhancement.
