Default Floppy DTV Card Size

Guys

I have a HP DC7600 PC - and my Techontrend Cards are too high to install in the 2 x PCI slots
Whats the hieght of the Floppydtv cards that everyone seems to use in here- and are there any other smaller height DVB/C and DVB/s Cards I can install better still dual tuner small height cards as I have only 2 x spare pcI, 1 x AGP and 1 x PCI express slots available latter to be installed with a HDTV cable card with DVI / VGA / HDMI out

That computer is an ultra slim one... the FloppyDTV is a full height card so i doubt it would fit in the unit.. you do have an option though as FloppyDTV also make FireDTV which plugs into the computer via a FireWire port...

The forum won't allow me to post a link as I do not have enough posts but if you go to the Digital Everywhere website and look for the FIREDTV it'll take you to a page where you can choose a cable or satellite model.

Its basically just the same card but in a box! and as a user of the card i'd reccommend it as it'll save you headaches - you'll have enough of them getting into this lark as it is

As the floppyDTV doesn't actually need a slot to mount (it's just to support it) - you could just put it inside the case and secure it by other means. It shouldn't be too hard to find a slimline face plate to put the f connector at the back. You could even make one fairly easily using one of the blank plates and a drill.
