I just have one question for you. Does your power supply that is presently in your Gateway look like the one in the link? Like the shape of it?

I appreciate it. The help's no problem. I'm glad I could help you. When you get the time, could you check your power supply to see if it looks like the one I showed? Sorry about that. I just want to be sure. I'll try and send you a pm.

That's ok.

Looks ATX to me. I'm just not all that familiar with mBTX boards.

They have BTX supplies, but I guess ATX is compatible.

Basically, I'm the same way that you are. I worry about things working out the way I planed. Tiger Direct also has a psu that is supposedly compatible with your pc and it's labled as an ATX. You could ask Gateway in a support chat. I've chatted with them before and they are nice and easy to deal with. It's free too! You don't need to tell them what you are doing, just ask if the power supply is an ATX supply. From all the evidence around me, it's ATX. Although, you have until 6/23, so you have plenty of time to check into it. It would just put you on the "totally sure it will work" side.

Should be, but I would like others to chime in here.

See that row of capacitors? On the picture, there is a W and a T. I wonder if those would interfere with a 8800GT?

Edit: Also, that page shows an ATX replacement power supply for that board, so three places now say ATX power supply.
Back to the 8800GT- I'm just worried that it won't clear or it will end up in a bind on those capacitors. My board had a SATA port blocking it, so I had to move my SATA cable to the #2 port.

i didnt know what they are, and no they wont interfere i put my hand there on the slot where the card would be and my hand rests about 2 inches off the motherboard from the pci slot i just have to move some cords around that are flexible, but not remove them.
