5870 and the cases it will fit in?

Firenze · 12 Dec 2009 at 00:48

I've just ordered a new 5870 for xmas, but have just suddenly realised i don't know if it'll fit in my current case...
I've got a thermaltake Shark, and googling supplied me with a quick article someone has posted that says it JUST fits... I was wondering if we could make a quick thread to help out potential owners by collecting a list of "Compatible" cases..?

Also if someone could put up a pic of a TTShark with a 5870 in it, I'd be most appreciative...

EDIT:
So, we have:
Antec P180B
Antec P182
Antec 300
Antec 900
Antec 902
Antec 1200
Coolermaster ATCS 840
Coolermaster 330
Coolermaster 335 elite
Coolermaster Stacker 830
CM Haf 932
Coolermaster Sniper
Cosmos S
Fractal Design Define R2
Jeantech Aqua
Lian Li PC-V1xxx
Lian Li PC-V2xxx
Lian Li V351 (mATX!)
NZXT Panzerbox
Silverstone fortress
Thermaltake Armor LCS
Thermaltake Tsunami Dream - slight bit of trimming...

TJ07*

*Untested, but measured and should fit comfortably...

I have a CM Stacker 820 i'll be surprised if it doesn't fit but I'll let you know when my 5870 arrives.

I have a Cosmos S, it has lots of space, a HD 5970 wil also fit well

chaparral · 12 Dec 2009 at 06:50

Looks like it going be a tight fit in my TJ07..as it will only leave about 3" of clearance at the end once fitted

HD 5870 fits in my Antec 300

Martini1991 · 12 Dec 2009 at 09:42

HD 5870 fits in my bro's CM 330 LOL.

pageboy81 · 12 Dec 2009 at 10:26

HD 5870 fits in my Antec 900.

thermaltake armor lcs.

Fits in antec P182 with my top HD cage removed. Though I think it would still fit with cage in.

Yup confirmed this! Got 2 x 5870s in mine. Plenty of space.

re-updated, keep em coming people!

AgedIdiot · 15 Dec 2009 at 09:15

Def.fits in the Haf 932

Disjunto · 15 Dec 2009 at 09:24

I think it might be more beneficial to list the cases it doesn't fit in

unlike the 5970, most cases will fit a card this size(just)

fitted in my old mesh! , mainly because older cases dont have one million HD bays.

Bought an Asus Vento (v nice case for the money) and once my 5870 is back from RMA ( waiting on stock ) we should be adding another to the list.

mine fits my Silverstone fortress perfectly

LOAM · 15 Dec 2009 at 12:59

Antec P180B fits fine

RizlaKing · 15 Dec 2009 at 19:41

Got mine into a thermaltake tsunami dream with the aid of some tinsnips

but these days with such high capacity hard drives i dont need more then two so if your like me you can get it in smaller cases.
