MSI TWIN FROZR III 6950 fits which case?

[luckyguy20]

i just bought the msi TF III i was surprised about its length as it barely fit my CM storm scout, now im planning to crossfire but i suppose it wont fit with a second card in unless i remove the HDD bay. which mid tower case would accommodate the TF III nicely?

I havent got one myself but I will be buying one soon, the Fractal Designs Define R3 on paper, says it will fit anything up to 290mm long and even bigger ones if the upper HDD bay is removed, Im looking forward to getting myself one to house some HD 7xxx cards

The card is IIRC, 11 inches long - which is pretty big!

was also looking into this case as its in a nice price range considering its got good reviews (apart from the broken ones of course). but still the corsair 600t is really tempting..

wasn't expecting it to be that long when i first thought of buying it, now ive got to upgrade my case in order to do a xfire of these cards.

I think it's shorter, but the reference 6950 is 11"

I have two of them in my fractal r3 right now and they fit fine!!

I moved from a cm 690ii to a 600t to fit my 6970 lightning. Plenty if room now. If the lightning fits, anything fits!!

does the R3 keep them cards quite even at 100% fan speed?

bear ine mind the lightning is non ref and i think it is actually shorter than the reference cards

The lightning is longer than a 6990.
It's the same size as a 5970 but a lot wider.
It's the biggest card on the market.
It dwarfs a reference 6970, and the directcu ii.

Here's a pic from vortex of the lightning and a ref 6970
