High air flow large case

[billblog]

Well if you like I can give you some real world measurements when I'm hope later, although I really think it must fit, this case is made to fit everything and anything.

I'm not sure, unless your motherboard tray sits really clear off the back of the case or something? Unless the measurements are just plain wrong..

Thanks for the offer but I would not put yourself out, from what I have found it will fit. The only thing I can think is my case is an older version of the current antec p183 so maybe they made it wider in the new model.
I think I have my head around the size now, case wise I am between the Elysium, Aerocool X-Predator and the Phantom (assuming it measures with enough space).

Just to add thanks to everyone who helped out, it really has helped a lot.

Ok mate well it's no problem if you want.

I went with the Elysium because I needed space for all my water cooling bits, plus I can reuse this case time after time as it's massive and has everything I will need for the next 5 years.

I also think it's quite good looking and for the price I really can grumble at anything, I had a p280 before and although it's not on the same level re build quality its certainly better then I expected considering the price and the darn size of it, the p280 will basically fit inside the Elysium lol.

Had a quick look and the Phantom measures around 190mm from the motherboard mount plate to the side panel and around 30mm from the top of the Scythe Ninja to the side panel.

Looks like it'd possibly be a little tight so probably not worth the risk. The Elysium looks like a very decent (not to mention huuuge) option.

OK, thanks a lot for that, looking like the Elysium is the way to go. I am still interested in the Aerocool X-Predator purely because even with the Elysium I am not sure if I can fit the side fan whereas with the Aerocool I could mount the two lower fans to go under the heat sink and cool the GPU but the fact no one seems to own one is a bit of a bad omen. Last thing would be, Demons UK, if you are still reading this, does your current set up have a side fan on? the silver arrow is 163mm high, so only 3mm less that my rock, so if you can fit a side fan I assume I can.

Well, I'm water cooled now but still have my silver arrow boxed up so when I'm home in afew hours ill get it out and take some mesurments to see if it will fit with the side fan taken in consideration.
