I don't recommend this for a few reasons

1) Heat problems in a small case
2) Actual fitment
3) Power requirements

Most video cards are no longer than 10.5 inches. But from what i know most high end ati cards are usually at 9'-10'

It would be a bit more helpful if you give more specs on your machine.

Palit Radeon HD4870 512MB Graphics Card Review

"When doing a size comparison to some of the cards that were and are presently in its price range we can see that the HD4870 is about 1” shorter than the 9800GTX but slightly longer than the HD4850 and older HD3870. Overall, the card is 9.5” long."

Go google.
