    errrr

    my x300 came, its only 3 inches tall and wont fit in the slots in the back of my case, nor will it fit in my pci-e port as the card is too long after the port.

    surely this isnt a pci-e card it looks more like an agp but was listed as pci-e

    another £20 down the drain sigh.

    AGP is shorter than PCI-E, as theres less pins.
    a pic or link would be good

    if its a half height card, has it come with a half height blanking plate on it??

    there might be another blanking plate in the box which would make it fit a normal PC case

    Sounds like you've got a low profile card to me. As MrP said, you might have 2 backing plates in the box, one for low profile, the other full height

    Is it a PCI card, rather than PCIe?

    edit: Apparently not, as PCI X300s appear not to exist.
