Ok i'm using a coolermaster centurion case and i know, from what i've heard that the 8800 GTS/GTX cards will probably not fit in my case. What about the new 8600 and 8500 cards? What size are they in comparison and will they fit in my machine?
Also I know the 8800 cards requires their own power cables (6 pin i think) but I'm not so sure about the others?
The GTS definitely WILL fit in your case, and from what I remember of a list out there the Centurion is among those that might fit the GTX.
If I can find the list I'll post it, I remember it specifically because I have recommended the centurion and Stacker to many friends and so I try to take note of stuff like that for them.
Remember the GTS isn't all that big.
Edit; here's a different list not the one I saw and it seems that the Centurion 5 does and the 534 doesn't fit the GTX (although I also saw mention of people with them in a brief google);
Thanks for your help guys, although that last message wasnt to clear or helpful?
Lets just say the I'm going to get the 8800 GTS 320mb, I have the centurion 5 and from what I can gather on the installed PSU its only 350W. Will this be enough? and if not can I should be able to replace it withought replacing the case shouldnt i?

no way in hell is 350 enough you need atleast a 500W with the correct rail voltages.

Ignorance!!!!! Man thats ignorant!!!
Suggestion if you don't know wtf you are talking about refrain from typing thank you and have a good day.
I do know WTF I'm talking about becase the GTS is the same size as the HIS X1950Pro IceQ Turbo I helped a friend replace his X800XL with in a Centurion 5 case which I suggets to many people because of airflow, no problems.
I KNEW the GTS wold fit, what I was unsure of was the GTX which I qualified at first. And while trying to look for the link of the original list I saw with the Centurion 5 + GTX on it I found other confirmation and edited right away 2hrs before you posted.
In the CM Centurion 5 there is exactly 288 mm of clearence from the support for the graphics (and other expansion) cards to the drivecage. The GTX is 267 mm (10.5 inches) long. That leaves about a 20 mm gap for cabling (not much but enough).
You have to position the harddrive so that it doesn't block the PCI-E 16x slot(s).
