Can anyone confirm if the x700 fits in the xps 200?

Can anyone confirm if the x700 low profile fits in the xps 200 and runs well?

Well this card was put into a XPS 200 by a poster and this was his statement after installing it.

Saturday I received and install the additional gig of DDR. Today I received and installed the Powercolor x700 Low Profile. So far the improvement is great! I scored nearly 5700 points higher on 3dmark01. On 3dmark05 I scored 1312 points higher. On BF2 I can run 1024x768 at medium settings and it's perfectly smooth. I can also run at 1280x1024 with low and medium settings mixed and its still incredible smooth. I was being optimistic in trying the x700 but I am surprised on how much better it is.

I bought one off of new egg. Yes it fits, but barely. It is ALOT better than the x600se(that came with my xps200) in games, but it tends to run pretty hot and so does my case. I’m trying to determine now if it makes my case too hot or not. I'll let you know.

I have an x700 in mine.  Yes it runs hot, but I dont think it drastically hotter than the OEM x600.  I remember checking it out before the swap for this very reason.  I wanted to make sure I was breaking even and not getting worse as my system was already hot.  The upside is the x700 has a fan which blows on my hard drive which, you guessed it, also runs hot.  The theme on these msg boards and others... the XPS 200 runs hot.

Yeah mine runs hot too. But the X700 is a better card, especially in games i noticed a huge difference. For some graphics intense games i play with the door open and a table fan on the system. hehe
