Help choosing a case

lankey · 13 Nov 2008 at 17:27

I need a case to fit the following:

(depth)
"mini" scythe ninja cooler
gtx280/gtx260

(height)
asus p5q deluxe

no water cooling

I was thinking the antec 300 although im sure if it would all fit
If it wont fit can you recommend one that will

thanks in advance

Im sure it is a good case but i heard people have problems plugging in there power plug on a 88xx card because the hdd rack is so close to the end of it.

If it can only just fit a 88xx then i dont see how i would be able to fit the bigger card like the gtx260/280 unless the hdd rack is removable (which i doubt)

doesnt your video card have the power connections on the side of the card rather than the end (which the older 8800 cards had). but yeah i recommend the antec 300

Agreed.
after recently getting an antec 300, i think it's the only case i would recomend to most people now.

lol i don't actually have a gtx 260/280 yet so i don't know

but i have the rest of the parts i need and was just wondering if it would all fit

can anyone confirm that the gtx260/280 do have power sockets on the side rather than the back

thanks

dont know where you have heard that ive got a 4870 in mine and about 4 inches to spare to the hard drive rack, and also the hard drive racks are removable.
