Dell Inspiron 530 desktop video card

Has anyone put a 5870 or GTX 480 in one of these ? (With a upgraded PSU of course) I have a q6600 with 4850.. thinking about upgrading the GPU.

It looks like a proprietary board that is somewhat wide. There is no extra room beyond the edge of the board for a card, so it all depends on how long that MB is. Measure it and then you'll know what will fit.

Do you have a 530 ?

Don't own one.
Don't know that anyone has put either of those cards in one.
Do know that the GTX 480 is the same physical size as a 9800GTX and people have put those in the I530.

Do you have a 530 ?

Like Delluser, I can look at pictures. It's not a standard board so I don't know the measurements.

I didn't think the board size was needed with a picture of the same size card in the case.
It's made for Dell but it's pretty much a standard micro ATX board.
9.6 x 9.6 inches, standard mATX hole pattern, socket 775 heatsink hole pattern and uses Intel standard front panel connections.

It looks like the 9800GTX fits inside the drive cage.... if it was just a little bit different the GTX 480 power sockets might be slightly blocked. Nothing a little modding wouldn't fix of course. It does look that close though.
