1 case, 2 sites, 2 different sizes ?

So i ordered myself the "Cooler Master CM-690 II Nvidia Edition Advanced Dominator Case - Black/Green" yesterday from OCUK and then a few hours later a friend of mine was on a rival stores site and noticed something odd.
On the OCUK site the case's dimensions are - (W / H / D): 214.5 x 511.8 x 528.8 mm.
And on the rival stores site the dimensions are - (W / H / D): 213 x 495 x 528 mm.

So which site is correct ?

Direct from Cooler Master: Dimension (W / H / D): 214.5 x 511.8 x 528.8 mm / 8.4 x 20.1 x 20.8 inches

It would seem OcUK win.

That wasn't a very subtle hint though.

i think what has happened here is that one site is using manufacturers dimensions, the other just measured it themselves

Agree with it or not those are the rules.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

i expect the rival site is using the dimensions of the coolermaster lite case

I'm correct! I'm the best! Coolermaster are correct also, they copied my dimensions!

I win!

Do I get a prize?

If you get any mail from the Reader's Digest I'm sure you are already very close to winning £50,000!

Should you not win, you can have the consolation of sending me a GTX 560 ti 2GB (from your secret stock I guess). As a bonus I'll return an autographed photo. I'm not famous mind.

A/S/L? Then I will decide if I want the photo!

Think Robin Williams, except more hairy. I'm guessing you're not the blonde bombshell of OcUK, and I'm not into bromance, though for the right components... :eek:

I am quite poor after having to replace my monitor, I'm dreaming of a GTX 560 ti 2GB (next card has to be nVidia) on TWO Offer at an irresistible price.
