HTPC Case that will fit a 8800GTS

Hi All,

Says it all in the title really.

Once the 4870X2 is released I'll be upgrading all of my kit, so instead of selling the old kit (in sig) on the bay, I'm going to re-use it all as a HTPC.

So I'm looking for a HTPC case, preferably decent looking that will take all of the bits in the SIG. The main problem I think will be to fit the 8800GTS in the case.

Any recommendations?

Regards

I would sell the 8800GTS and get an AMD 780G chipset board with a cheapo 45w CPU for using a HTPC. 8800GTS is overkill for a HTPC.

Agree, but won't get anything worthwhile for the GTS on the Bay or anywhere else these days so thought better to keep it, also then can still use the HTPC as a games PC on my LCD should I wish.

Probably best to look at silverstone for a full ATX HTPC case then. £80 or so but not so sure on the cooling capacity - I presume the GTS gets hot like my 8800GT?
