Nvidia 8-series Compatible Cases Thread

Ok well there definitely isn't 275mm of clearance in my Thermaltake Soprano...so I was just wondering which cases have that kind of GPU clearance?

manoz · 9 Nov 2006 at 21:25

Akasa Eclipse and you still have 2 inches spare

Hard drive cage + dremel = any case.

There will be plenty of room in my Kandalf. So Armor and shark will be fine too.

You sure it will fit the Shark?
Isn't that just a standard size ATX rather than being the same chassis as the armor and the kandalf?
The shark is definetly smaller case.

Any idea on the Antec 900? I heard about VGA clearance problems...?

I really love the Antec 900 and Thermaltake Armor....about 60-90 quid is my budget.

it would fit in my generic pc case i bought 6 years ago for £15

(no hard drive cage

)

Which reminds me.....

They should make a Gfx card which is about 50 cm long. So all us with out Eclipses can remove the hdd cage and fit it in fine

it might just fit in a gigabyte 3daurora?

vincent1989 · 10 Nov 2006 at 09:13

wont fit a soprano (unless you remove, or partially cut out the HD cage) just about 1 cm to short

would fit any with a removable cage

I hope it fits in a LL v2000. Not that I have any reason to thing it won't.

CarlD · 10 Nov 2006 at 09:46

Time for a new case then :X

Captain Fizz · 10 Nov 2006 at 11:17

It will fit in a Chieftec Dragon/Matrix style case.
They support full length PCI cards. (Longer than the G80)

CarlD · 10 Nov 2006 at 11:47

I'v just orderd a lian li v2000

My 3daurora was a good case<3

would be nice to know if it fits in an Antec Sonata (either I or II as they're the same size)
