58mm is the depth.
Found it on the HIS website.
I posted couple of seconds ago ^
Edit: Yes, 20mm per slot (correct me if i'm wrong)
That fan bulges up a lot...damn.

Actually, just got too many choices right now.
I still have the two Gigabyte GTX 670's here... and wondering if I shouldn't see if I can get both running decently in SLI, or maybe stick with one.
The windforce coolers are not great for SLI though, even with more spacing, which I think is due to the orientation of the fins running across the card rather than lengthways.
Despite the annoyances I have with the nvidia cards, it's less stuff to buy/sell.
Otherwise I could try two of these, but again, I am unsure what temps/noise would be like in crossfire.
Or one of these. I am 99% certain it will fit my case, even though a tight fit.
I would have considered the Matrix platinum 7970 at £380 as it will definitely fit, but I am weary about the fact that it only has DVI and Displayport, and I need hdmi for audio. Sure an adapter might work but.....
Or I suppose I could just get a single one of these and ditch it when next gen is out.
Hell, maybe even two of these...

Are you single 1080 screen or multi-screen or high resolution?
If it's single screen you might be better off just sticking with the 670's as they'll perform identically to anything else (i.e. bloody smooth!
)
If it's multi screen/high res I would persist with the AMD option due to how much quicker they are in this scenario.

Turns out I just couldn't stomach the idea of buying more graphics cards...
I will spend the weekend seeing if I can get the GTX 670's running nicely in SLI, and see if I can't find a solution to the annoying tridef issues I had and other stuff.
