Case for 3x GTX260s...

Ghengis · 22 Jan 2009 at 12:54

Can anyone reccommend or is using a midi-tower case that will hold 3 GTX260s?

Thanks!

Antec 300, 900, 1200 will all do the job depending on your budget

Antec 300, 900 lol

THREE 260's! are you mental lol

Do you have money to waste? (if so il pm you my bak details hehe)or do you not know the performance increase of tri sli over normal sli is not worth the cost of an extra graphics card!

Pictures will be posted right

You sure about the 300? - I have one of those already and it is very tight with two cards in there .... not to mention HDD space is compromised.
May try the 900 then - and ConTRo13R, no I'm not mad - it is just how we do things in Kent!

And neither even second card gives consistent performance increase but from none to mediocre benefit.
Outside synthetic benchmarkets third card is as good use for money as burning bills directly. (which would be cheaper because of saved electricity)

900 isnt going to give that much extra than a 300. would look at the 1200 tbh.

but again, i would just go for one single 280 gtx or better if you have the case.

need to ask, what motherboard you going to be using??

as if its a gigabyte i7 board (ud5 or extreme) you are very limited in the choice of case

but i would recommend a antec 1200, gonna need plenty airflow

I have a 900 here and it aint that big, not seen a 300 in the flesh but this would be very tight with three cards

what he said, cant think of a triple fitting in a 300 or 900

cje · 23 Jan 2009 at 11:38

I've got the 1200 and that would fit triple just fine. But as another user said, you wouldn't see much performance increase over a single more powerful card. Can you afford a gtx 285 or 295? lol

Ghengis · 30 Jan 2009 at 13:25

... thanks for the suggestions - went for the Antec 900 II. The 3x GTXs fit fine on a Asus P6T Mobo.
