    barebones are kits that usually come with most but not all the parts needed to build a PC, like sum come with motherboard/case/cpu/optical drive all at a cheaper price (cause its bundled)


    go to newegg to see examples

    even though its probably cheaper to make it your self.. and from what i remember 7900s are longer than 7800s but 78s are old and garbage now

    umm the 7800's are FAR from garbage lol, just because the 8800's are out doesnt meant he lower cards are any worse.

    7800s are garbage the 7900gt is better than a 7800gtx and its like 100$ cheaper so its pointless to buy one and also the 7900s oc alot better

    they won't fit.

    220mm is 22CM which is 8.6inches

    I beleive the 7900GT is either 8 or 9 inches so it's close

    and why bother with micro ATX?
