    Maybe an internal riser card is in order.It will let the card sit horizontally instead of vertically

    As said above a riser card might be in order.If that isnt an option see if you can return it and see if they have a usb version of that card.

    Its a pain in the ass as a lot of pci cards dont fit in dell/compaq.Graffix cards being the main culprit

    The other option is to buy a larger case and transfer your existing hardware into it. They can be quite cheap when you arent trying to build a gaming rig (and even then, are very affordable)
