How Many Folk Will Need A New Case For The ATI 5870?

Nope :D

Your motherboard went on one hell of a diet lol
 
Isn't it about the same length as a 4870, when power cables are included? Since the power cables are on the front now.

Although I suppose there's a difference between a malleable cable and a solid hunk of 5870 :p
 
lol im just looking down at my LL PC60..... hmmmm gonna be a tight fit!

Yea it will, and the PC60 etc, I have a GTX260 in my PC7+ with room to spare. It is 'possible' to get a 4870 or a 260 into a Sugo SG05 ...so they'll go in pretty well anything mentioned in this thread, unless there is a none removable drivebay in the way, in the PC7, you don't need to remove anything though.
 
V2000

I'm happy :D

Had a tiny Packard Bell OEM type PC for a couple of months whilst mine in build, missus laughed when she saw it after previously seeing my TJ-07 or my V2000 between builds!

It did look absolutely midget compared to whats usually in my "PC space"
 
Just hope the Vapor-x fits in my 1200, looking at pics it seems the power connections are back on the end of the card again and could get very tight in there (good excuse to finish braiding the PSU cables I suppose)
 
Since I was thinking of buying a pre-made system as I was going to change pretty much every other component at the same time (and really can't be bothered to self-build with the current price differential and the lack of time I have to do it in) ,what would be the recommended case to aim for - I believe the 902 is a pretty tight fit so how big is a HAF922 compared to it or is it worth going to HAF932 for the extra cash.

Of course I could alway stay with the asaka 62 that I already own which it will definitely fit
 
Any idea if the 5850 would fit into my 10year old ATC-210-VX2? Really don't want to upgrade the case as its still going strong :)
 
Just worked mine out. The case is 520mm in depth, -2 inches(front panel & door) & 6" for the drive bay.

So 52cm/2.5= 20.5 inches - 8 inches for case and drive bays gives a grand total of 12 (ish) inches. How long is the 5850?
 
I got my P182 specifically because it could take any graphics card with the middle drive cage removed!

I'm going to find it hard resisting the temptation to dump my two 8800GTs and not get a 5870 to fill the space :-)
