When I received this baby I was worrying if it would fit into my Mid-Tower. Luckily there is still 1 inch of free space before it would have hit the HDD mount. (It's 27.5cm long!) It also covers one of my PCI slots and all SATA ports but one. I will have to buy a new Motherboard because of that. Make sure your ports are not to the right of the PCI-E slot, since those will be covered up! The card will cover of the entire (standard ATX) motherbard's length!!
