the 9800GX2 is like the same length as the GTX, about 10.5 in or 26.5 cm. The other 8800 cards are all a bit over 9 in or 23 cm. 10.5 in is a big increase so if you have the case just measure it. If you are just looking at it then check the demensions and read reviews to see if anyone has tried it. I am pretty sure the Antec 900 can handle the longer card so you might check the length (depth) measurement against that case to see if it is as big.

Another problem to consider, is if the card comes up right against the front bays you might have air flow problems and need fans both in the upper portion and lower portion of the case because the card creates two seperate chambers for air flow.
