300R, Antec 1100 or cheaper suggestions?

Title says it all really. I'm about to purchase a HIS 7950 but at 29.5cm it's far too big for my case so I'm in the market for a new one! I've narrowed it down to the 300R or Antec 1100, just wondered if anyone on the forums used either and could give me their 2 cents?

I'm also open to cheaper alternatives that would still have room for the 7950 and my Gelid CPU HSF (which stands at 15.3cm)

Cheers!

Bitfenix Shinobi or Zalman Z9. Both available in different variations

Thanks for the suggestions but the Zalman seems to be 5mm too short for the 7950 and the Bitfenix doesn't appear to have much in the way of cooling?

I'm using the Antec 1100 instead of the Antec 300 and I must say its a hell of a lot better. A lot of space

I do need to re sort the cables but just wanted to get it setup so I can use it.
