Would you mind posting a side on pic like mine? Seems dell mobos mount the cards the other way up to an atx mobo like mine.
Seems like people buy short fat cards and fit a single slot face plate to make them fit. I just want to double check that will work for you.

Well found. It recommends the 260 but surely it's too long.
Right, so it's as I thought. If there is a cooling fan that makes the card thicker then length is restricted yo 7.5" even if the slot end is cut in half to make a single slot.
A slimline - essentially single slot - will slip in up to
