Would a gtx260 fit in a Atx Mid Case?

Will a gtx260 fit in a mid level tower (atx) case?

It should fit. Of greater concern would be the power supply and ventilation. The nvidia gtx260 draws a lot of juice, and generates quite a bit of heat. Your power supply should have 500 watts, and that's the bare minimum, more is better, and it should be able to deliver 26 amps. The case should be well ventilated with a fan in the back and maybe even one on the side cover.





The gtx260 is 10.5 inches long, by 4.4 inches high. Cut a piece of cardboard that size, open up your case and try it out!Would a gtx260 fit in a Atx Mid Case?
It might, but it would make the whole area very very cramped. I would reccomend a bigger case, if your into building and want more space to your hands in there.
If you mean a dell optiplex gx-260, the the answer is no! it is a propritary clamshell case
