5870 in an Antec 300.

Now lets see one in a shuttle case


(Then again i did have a 8800gtx in my shuttle)

Yeah, i have the storm scout.. i just went with two 5850's. I know with that £100 extra i spent on the two 5850's could have gone to a new case so i could fit the 5870 in.. but i'd rather spent the money on the performance

Nearly as messy as mine, should have bought a modular psu..
Antec 900

you know its strange, I am sure i remember a v8 looking much cooler than that

 

[Masoody]

wow ur computers are messy as hell...im about to build my rig with a antec 1200, i hope its cleaner than that :/

I'm in the same boat, looking at the getting a 5870 shortly but like a lot of cases, me antec 300 is just too short, BUT, with careful use of a dremel I reckon the appropriate material can be removed properly and might not effect then resale value, some ppl might even consider the modification to be a benefit, afterall, it makes the case the more versatile (for bigger cards) and I reckon you'd only lose the space for one h/d (gonna have to check that one though).

why wont it fit? It hit the HDD cage or what?

Like most others here I assumed it wouldn't fit until I saw that pic further up the thread, no need at all to hack the case.

Inside my PC-A16 (crappy mobile phone pic)...

I had already moved the HDD cage up for my 8800 which is about the same length. Plenty of room after that.

wow i could really imagine the size of the card until i saw these pics :O

Good that it fits the antec 300, but looks like new case time anyway as I have two more drives inbound

So that'll be five drives..

Thinking of buying an Antec P183 - anyone know if the card will fit?

if you turn your exhaust fan twice/three times anti clockwise, you'll be able to hide that wire.

Anyone got one in a Coolermaster CM-690 Dominator?

I'm just about to get the Nvidia version and i've read that all the latest (and biggest) graphics cards will fit (even the 5870). Hence why I'm going with this case.
