Most modern electronics have bleeder resistors to keep caps discharged, but as stated if your not a tech its best to leave the smoke in the wires ! As to your video card being to long it sounds as if your Mother Board is to old to accept the newer AGP video cards and means you need a complete update of your computer system !

Simshell,

Quite honestly buddy you might want to invest the time and money in having someone who works on computers for a living to install this one for you.

BUT other than that how is the card to long? What size case do you have? (ie...full size, mid-size or micro AT [shudder], ATX again full, mid or Micro-ATX) Is your case a desktop case or tower? Several things we need to know here along with which motherboard/CPU you have and is it a store brand system (HP, Compaq, etc...) or is it a Dell, Gateway, etc...

i found out it does not have a AGP slot for the video card im looking into PCI cards right now and looking to buy one soon

and that was dumb about the monitor dont no what i was thinking but when
 i open up the tower and think about it everthing was realy simple  were it went and everthing i dont need a expert anymore heck i learn some thing by opening and il never need a expert to    
      replace simple video cards now that i  know  and the install looks easy on my XP

but i think you guys should understand that i make 30$ a week just doing house work and going to my dads shop for a day

so i cant do these huge upgrades

like new mother boards

right now im just trying to keep my PC runing the new low end games

like aces high

im now looking for a PCI card

thats if it well work
