After about 3 hours of looking for adaptors and wondering about fitment issues I just said f it and took back the 9800gtx+. Picked up a visiontek ati radeon 4850. It is about half the width of the 98...it should fit just fine. Now I just got to wait for the antec 900 case to get here.

From what I have read the 4850 is a bit better than the original 9800 gtx but the version I had (+ model) is based on the 55nm and can be overclocked quite far and runs cooler...edging out the 4850.

but either way...im not sure ill notice a difference....the pentium D 830 will be the bottleneck newayz

thanks again for all the help, you guys have been great.
