   How about "Brands" of Nvidia Chipset?Is it possible that the design of the Video card is inept, rather than MSI, I find that MSI, although making a few poop motherboards, mostly makes motherboards that I still have running after 5 or 6 years: I just gave a friend of mine, my MS-6903 rev 2.0, after I stuck a 1 GHz P-III chip on it.Also consider: not all Nvidia are created equal. First, you have POS makes "Gainward" "Chaintech" (And I am a traitor, I use a Chaintech Gefarce 5200), Then there is the Elsa Gladiac, than there are things like Asus 7700's which were the first Geforce: I use one of those, and it is a kickass capture card, I used to for analogue composite video capture.So, I find that I always defer to a company. I like MSI, I like AMD, and I like Sound Blaster, DESPITE thier recent BS that an Audigy was a 24-bit 96kHz Sound Card (It is most certainly NOT). But, I never buy Creative new, I always get em used, cos then I feel like I am not being cheated as much.The Company I highly Recommend for nVidia, is eVga:I give yu, the eVga version of this card:[url]http://www.evga.com/products/moreinfo.asp?pn=256-P
   -N528-AX[/url]If you look at the image, does it seem like it would fit into the room given? You are talking about Caps that stick up: Now I see that the FAN sticks WAY up, but I see No electrolytic caps rising high on the board.Check it!

   Oh!You are talking about caps on the MB! My bad...Well, that was dumb of MSI - I had heard talk that MSI has been slipping, which is why I stick to the makes that are solid.
