hi ben_j_davis, im not to sure on that 1 u could ask in the

Small Form Factor thread

Are there any Shuttle cases that would fit the new nVidia card.

just looked at a review of the sd37p2, and i doubt it would fit, putting it simply. how much longer is it than a x1900, and is it just bare card after that or loads of capacitors?

edit: you might be lucky fitting it into a p2 chassis, however without working on one i don't know what clearance there is around the front of the shuttle.

 

[Tosk]

dont forget most of the 8800 cards use up dual slots

i think the ati x1900 is about 23-24cm long

The 8800GTX fits in P case Shuttles so should also fit in the P2 cases..

thermaltake xaser III and ocuk uber value case both are ok too

 

[Tosk]

thanks lay-z-boy

ive added that case to the list now

 

[Tosk]

hi thefishydidit thanks for that

mm i was wondering if you could list all the Shuttle P models please?
so i can add them to the site list.

 

[Tosk]

nvm mind ive got the list sorted

 

[lay-z-boy]

good list you have there tosk, will ask around to get more cases on the list.

Tsunami dream...

ive got a thermaltake tsunami dream, and to fit my 8800gtx ive had to relocate my raptor hdd to the floppy cage, and remove the hdd cage. it looked like it would fit in fine.... until i tried to put it in and found a piece of plastic in between the 2 pci slot 'clips' that hold the graphics card in! after ripping said piece of plastic out with an old (but trusty!) pair of pliers, the card went in fine... with room for another! (if i had a quad sli psu!... mind you, with 2 in sli, im thinking heat might become an issue, 'cause my rig's getting warm with just the one!)

I'm thinking anyone with a thermaltake case with ''pci slot tool-free clips'' will need to remove the bit of plastic from between the pci clips to fit the card...

hope this helps!

Gabs.

thermaltake xaser III and ocuk uber value case both are ok too

[khemist]

8800gtx will JUST fit (about 1mm space) in a gigabyte 3d aurora ..have to put it in at an angle then level it out with the pcie slot.

 

[Tosk]

thanks khemist ive added the case to the list and ive also added the 3D Aurora 570 that as 10% more body space.

Heres a pic showing that the radeon 1900 series will fit neatly on the Antec Solo as you can see: http://members.surfeu.fi/tombad/1900.jpg Can some of you guys tell me (and other SOLO owners) will the 8000 series fit in there? If yes, would the case need any mods? Please, share your wisdom

 

[fornowagain]

However is anyone getting any of these cases for the 8800 GTX or GTS:


Thermaltake VE1000BWS Mozart TX Entertainment Tower Case

Yep, best case I've ever had, loads of room and case temps are at ambient room. Planned room for 2 loops with 120.2 each.

 

[Tosk]

mm from the look of that pic Yarkanat no u cant fit a 8800 gtx card in it
but a gts might just fit

well if the motherboard and the HD cage are level and the gfx gtx card can go in the cage then u could get away with it
