Just not sure if ill squeeze a radeon 5870 in, my 8800 gtx is quite a tight fit theres about 1-2cm spare behind it max, how much extra length does the 5870 have over a 8800gtx?
 
You need 11 inches mate. Easiest way to test is by getting a piece of card, cut it to 11 inches and lay it on top of your graphics card
 
Does this help?

No 8800gtx but it does have a 4870, gtx295, 4870x2 and a 5870.
 
My case (Antec Sonata II) internal metal to metal size is exactly 11 inches which puts the vents flat up against the metal. I've read reviews giving sizes of 27.7cm and 27.9cm and 10.5 inches which would give a few mm of 'breathing space' to play with at best. Does anyone know the exact size?

Look upa post, around 11.5 inches give or take a centimetre.
