No problem, the 8500GT is a really small card. Now if you wanted to fit a 88 series, or 9 series, then maybe you would have some trouble. That card sucks though, get something better

I took off one of the brackets that's near the PCIE slot, tried slotting in the brakcet for the graphic card? I'm not so sure what it's called, I don't know my PC things well. But it gets stuck when I try to put the slot in, it hits against the motherboard.  

Are you insulting my monkey?

you need a low profile card, Tigerdirect doesnt seem to have a way to sort by that ...though, I've dealt with their Customer Support, if you explain the situation they should be able to get it exchanged for you.

Ok after looking more closely i notice yours comes with the low profile brackets, you just need to remove the one thats on it currently and use both of the smaller brackets or just one if you only use the DVI port(assuming your monitor uses it as it does not include a DVI to VGA adapter)

I see, i thought Low-Profile cards were exclusively for PCI only, i had that trouble once. You could physically mod the case.
