Hmm I was so gonna order this card until I saw the lengh. It won't fit in my new case. You guys think this will have a chance against the Asus Direct CU II's?

Ya man I was gonna hit the buy button on one of these until I saw 12in length on the MSI website. It's either pick another card or loose my HDD bays. I'll pick another card.

I want this card so darn bad. I hope that extra length is the stupid shroud. That is "fixable".

Card could be 4ft long, won't change my day It does look great.... The Asus CuII is priced really well in the UK (for once) so the MSI-Lightning has gotta pull something out the bag to compete
