Lian-Li V354 - mATX Case

[Bradmax57]

OK, thinking of biting the bullet and going for it. But have come across a problem - My HR05+

I can fit my 8800GTX in length wise, but I have a HR05+ on it to keep it nice and cool/quite. It takes up 5x PCI with a fan on. That is all the slots in the case so would leave the fan stuck hard against the bottom of the case.
Another option is put the 8800GTX in the lower PCI-E slot and flip the HR05 so its on top of the card, but I don't think I'd get the fan in between the TRUE120 and the 8800GTX.

So that leaves me with 1 solution. HR05+ without the fan... Think the intake fans will move enough air over it to keep it cool?

Otherwise its a case of splashing out another £150 and getting a HD5830 a few months before the HD6 Series suppostedly comes out...

Ideas (apart from not getting the case)?

Depends if you want to buy a new gfx card or not i guess or if your holding out, if your happy to keep the card how about just getting a different cooler for it one that doesnt take up as many slots? failing. Thing is at that price point for a gfx card you'd be better off looking for a used 5850 or a new 1gb 460gtx?

Yeh, don't really want to buy a new card yet as the last line might suggest.

As for a different cooler - its not worth buying one another for a 8800GTX at this stage when the card itself is only worth £50 and I've had it since it was £300 and the HR05+ cost £40. I've got the stock cooler that I can put back on, but the noise and heat level goes back up again which I don't want.

So I spose its wait then.
