Flex ATX video card
I cant seem to find a low profile video card to fit into my flex ATX case that the internal video card has stopped working. How do I find a card that fits my case or is there a way to make a normal one fit into the flex case?

Hi and welcome to PCMech...
Do you have an AGP slot or just PCI slots?... and how many of each do you have?... are there any other cards taking up space?... just need to know a little bit more of what you have inside before we can offer some suggestions... Good luck

Flex ATX
Yea, it is one of those puny cases that is too small to do anything and I believe that it just has AGP slots (2 to be exact)

Why would you need 2 agp slots.
I know you can buy pci slots for flex atx but as of wair I have no idea. Call a local pc repair shot or some thing and ask them. |

Flex ATX video card help
There are two expansion slots and they are just normal. I am at the point of thinking about whether or not I should put the whole system in a new case. I have searched high and low to find a video card that will fit this darn thing!!

that looks like the right size but is that a wierd mount or something on the bottom? it looks like it would sit in there horizontally. Mine would sit in vertically like a normal one. I cant believe that you found one! I have looked everywhere. The computer is Gateway and even they said that they werent sure that they made one!

Here's another low profile (a.k.a. half-height) card but without the horizontal adaptor.
