I'm interested in playing the latest games on my HTPC with decent framerates, but am somewhat limited with card length on the NSK2480. I would really like to grab a GTX260 (55nm) but I'm pretty sure the 10.5" card length is too deep for the case. I have no intention of cutting the case at all so I need to find something else that fits and offers a similar level of performance. The HIS 4870 ICEQ4+ looks promising and seems to be 9.8" long. I'm not 100% sure if this would fit, but it definitely seems more feasible than the gtx260. I was also looking at the 4770, but that is definitely down a notch or two on the performance front. Any other ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and I guess if it's *REALLY* worth it, I might be able to be convinced to cut the case slightly to accommodate the 260. Also, I'm looking to spend somwhere in the $150-$175 range if that helps narrow things down.
