No card will fit in your Cabinet unless you wish to leave the side panel open.

^^ a low profile GPU will fit. though a normal GPU will never fit. BTW same GPU can be had from flipkart: Sapphire Radeon HD5450 1GB DDR3

Only low prifiles. they are meant for HTPC rigs hence fitting in a smaller and yhin cabinet is a necessity which they satisfy :wink:

^^ G31 is crap so HD5450 can run modern games at lowest settings & secondly at under 3k, HD5450 & HD6450 offers same graphics. if he wants to go any higher he'll have to change cabinet & all.
