Having found out the hardway having ordered an 8800 only to find it doesnt fit with the stock dell case. So after being slightly annoyed at dell and almost returning the card I found this Taylor 78's tutorial This allows you fit an 8800 safely in to an e520 or similar Dell case it also explains that Dells standard power unit is actually capable of around 500w rather than the marked 305w meaning that you can also power your 8800 or similar card without any upgrades to your PSU (putting a new PSU in a dell case is a bit of bitch.) So I will be attempting to fit my 8800 in to my Dell this sunday.
Be advised that replacing your PSU or performing the above listed modification will void your warranty with Dell (not that they will make it easy for you to claim on in it anyway.)
