Graphic card size/dimensions/form factor/whatever

karl8 · Oct 3, 2013

I want draw/model a computer using CAD software, but I don't have any sheet explaining some component's size.

I only have a pdf about ATX 2.2 which contains exact standard size for PSUs and motherboards; I need the same for graphic cards, disks, optical units, fans and PCI shield/backplate (THIS: http://www.dangerden.com/store/images/D/10-Slot-PCI-Bracket-1000.jpg).

I've looked quite a lot but found nothing.

Graphics cards, not gonna happen as they come in different sizes.

Optical drives all follow the 5.25" form factor, should be easy to find out.
Fans, they are named by size. A 120mm fan is 120mm in length and width, typically 25mm high.
As for the motherboard tray.

If your using an application like Sketchup, there are already hundreds of computer component models available in the Sketchup Warehouse.

I mostly need hole locations and maximum sizes to create their frames.

So speaking of graphic cards I should need the PCI "bracket" dimensions only (as 2 slot-card are just 2 brackets-high and as large as 1 bracket).
I don't need this: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=36313&stc=1&d=1276688996
or this http://www.brackets.nl/images/c_pci%20_1d.gif
but the graphic-card side bracket, with screw-hole.

You could buy yourself a cheap, generic case from a local computer market and just gut the thing for the components you want. You would also be able to measure any sizes off of that.
