Again another positive for the 9800GT as it is really slimline. It's big anyway.

Don't fancy the one I linked? Looks to be single slot.

Yes but I thought you were suggesting the cooling fan would make it hard to fit as it isn't slimline.

The Dell 755 only just takes the length of the 9800 apparently. It's a nightmare
The 9800gt is 9" and the 260 is 10.5" and it says here it is a dual slot!!

Looking at the one I linked it seems to have been converted to a single slot as the cooling fans shown look after market. As for the length maybe message the seller.

It must be the height that makes them say double slot as the end pic shows single. :unsure:

On it.

Makes me wonder if it is possible to convert others to a single slot with the proviso the card thickness is the same (as a single slot).

Here is what a 9800gt looks like in a 755
