[QUOTE="redflyr, post: 1643536, member: 341805"] I ordered a new video card for my 3,1 Mac Pro and accidentally ordered the ver that doesn't say 'For Mac Pro' not realizing that there was any difference. It seems that the video card should work, if I could get it in my tower! The difference between the two ver seems to be the length and shape of its support arm(can't figure out what to call this part), the FOR Mac Pro ver is an inch or so shorter than the other one. I saw someone suggest cutting it off with a hacksaw, which I'd really rather not do. So I was wondering if anyone has tried removing the arm/case part? It seems like it might work, but I'm concerned about it exposing any important parts, it is covered with the important legal stickers. Or does anyone have ideas short of the hacksaw plan to get this bad boy to fit in the darn machine?
