will full height GPUs fit in this case? Or, will we need a half height graphics card?

You can get a full height one in but not anything larger (e.g., the EVGA GTX 770 Classified was too tall). Also make sure you get a card shorter than 10"; there is very little clearance in the back and cable management is complicated by a full size card. I ended up with an EVGA GTX 760.

A full height card will fit, but only just. I actually bought this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ILALU28/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and the heat sink was too tall. I had to saw off the top bit that stuck over the actual card.

Try to choose a PSU that comes with a 90 degree PCI connector. I have a GTX 770 squeezed into this case and the part that doesn't fit right is the power cable I had to bend it and squeeze it alot.

A full height card will fit, but only just. I actually bought this one Sapphire Radeon Ultimate R7 250 1GB GDDR5 HDMI/DVI-I/DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 11215-04-40G and the heat sink was too tall. I had to saw off the top bit that stuck over the actual card.

Having not attempted that, I can't say it's impossible, but I'd be very surprised if that worked out with this case. I'm using integrated Intel HD graphics, and its handled everything I've thrown at it, but trying to cram a beefy graphics card in there would be very challenging. You'd definitely need anew back panel, yes, but that's if the case could even accommodate the physical configuration to begin with. I suspect your first problem would be the vertical clearance.

I have a full-length, double-wide Radeon HD (I forget the make/model). It fits fine, as the case is very spacious.

its a full size card, i dont think it will fit in your chassis,sorry bout that :(

Mhmm, not completely sure. The card is about 10.5 inches and Im not sure how long the HP's case is. If I were you I would get a new case and just swap components. Seeing by how you ar ebuying a $1000 GPU, you could easily buy a decent new case or $60.

Generally yes as it is half height card and low profile bracket included.Thanks

its a full sized tower, u might need upgrade the power supply, but all that and even watercooling would fit, its a roomie case, just need to upgrade powersupply if your tossin in a decent graphics card

It should fit perfectly. As long as the expansion slots are separated. I'm also running two GTX 780's on a motherboard with a very similar layout. I don't think you'll have any problems.

According to their website, this case can support a GPU up to 420mm in length. So yes, you would be good :)

It is a full size card and requires a full size slot and case. I am familiar with the Micro ATX Case, but given it says "micro" I am guessing it is not full size. I made that mistake.

The computer has a slot for a half height PCIe video card. Doesn't have the space for a full height card. There are some good video cards out there that are half height, they come standard with a bracket for a standard PC but have a half height bracket in the box. The Lenovo site will have info on available slots.

I don't know, lots. I installed a full size atx board (Asus M5-A97) no problem. Second the other response. Whole bag of stuff, most of which I will probably never need for standard build with three hard drives, one video card and one optical drive. Overall I really like this case especially at this price.

That's going to be a tight fit! I would think (especially with how cramped the rest of the case is) probably not. That full slot is directly above the CPU location on most main boards. I personally haven't used it for a graphics card. I just use a low profile card in mine. Also, it doesn't come with any PCI Express extension cables to allow remote mounting

No. This case requires low-profile expansion slot cards meaning they need to be less than 3 inches in height or the lid won't close. That graphics card is standard profile at over 4 inches.

Yes it will work. You will have to remove the full height PCI bracket and install the half height brackets to the card. The brackets are included. Ofc you will also have to install the nvidia driver.

My 2 gtx 660'S (242mm) fit with room to spare. People have put 670's and 680's in it as well.

I don't think you'll have any problems with a long or tall graphics card in this case. But micro ATX motherboards may limit the thickness of your choice of graphics card. Fanless, passively cooled GPU's usually require a larger heatsink, and often take up two PCI slots on a smaller mobo. If you plan to use all of those slots for accessory cards, you'll probably want to install a GPU with its own fan.
