Is the computer full size or is it smaller than normal? I was wondering about this. " Low-profile PCI Express x16 x 1 "

It is a slightly compact desktop computer.
I found the following on Wikipedia regarding low-profile PCI busses:

The PCI organization has defined a standard for "low-profile" cards, which basically fit in the following ranges:

  • Height: 1.42 inches (36.07 mm) to 2.536 inches (64.41 mm)
  • Depth: 4.721 inches (119.91 mm) to 6.6 inches (167.64 mm)

The bracket is also reduced in height, to a standard 3.118 inches (79.2 mm). The smaller bracket will not fit a standard PC case. Many manufacturers supply both types of bracket (brackets are typically screwed to the card so changing them is not difficult).

These cards may be known by other names such as "slim".

 

Will this cause a problem in finding a good graphics card?
