Need Wide Case

I need a case wide enough to fit an 8 inch Matrox graphics card. Are there any cases big enough for the job?

This is a UK site but you get a good look at the cases.

Antec are available world wide. NOTE This case comes without a PSU.

Are you talking about 8 inches long, or 8 inches tall? 8 inches long will fit in any standard ATX case. 8 inches tall is another story - most standard ATX towers are anywhere from 7.5 to 8.25 inches wide, you may have to look for some kind of server case or leave the side panel off a standard case.

Talking Oops...

Did some fact checking and turns out I've already got a card in there that's 8 1/2 inches long, so you see even I can make a mistake (just be glad I'm not fitting lenses for a $10 billion space telescope).

Thanks for the feedback.
