03 Nov 2009 02:57AM

i got my dell  about 3 years ago, im lookin to build a new one but in parts, so here comes my question.

its duel slot,(Width)no idea if it going to the cpu or the floor of the case. its 10.5inchs Length (267mm) and 4.3 inchs in Heigh

power supply not a issue.

I have an E510.

But, without looking inside I can't say if the length of the card will interfere with anything.  I don't think you will have problems with the dual slot (rear panel dual slot).  I can't access my E510 right now to see if it will work.  I have an NVIDIA 8600GT in mine, I don't know how the card length compares to the GTX260, but the 8600GT fits without problems (it was an upgrade to the original video card that came with the PC).

As you are building a new PC (what I did instead of any additonal upgrades to my "old technology" E510) and apparently going to use this card in the new PC, just try it and see if it will fit.  There's nothing to lose since you are going to use the video card in the new PC.

This post HERE talks about single and dual slot cards for the E510 indicating that the dual slot ones will not work.  I am not sure if that is correct, but it has been indicated elsewhere also.
