Please Recommend a Case

Hi,

I currently have an Antec 300 Gaming Case and have just received an ATI 5970 OC which before ordering Overclockers confirmed would fit in the case I have without needing to make nay modifications to the case.

Upon receiving the card this is not the case and the only way this card is going to fit is if I hacksaw a chunk from the HDD cage in the front.

As I have 2 other PC's that I was planning in moving into Antec 300 cases rather than hack saw a chunk from this one I am considering buying an alternative case that will indeed fit the ATI 5970 OC.

I'm looking for something with no window (or optional panel I can get to remove window) that is similar in style to the Antec 300 case.

Can anyone recommend a case that will fit my needs?

Hi,

Card is ~12 1/2 inches (~32cm).

I was considering going the whole hog and getting the Corsair 800D, should be ample room in that for the card and a swimming pool with mini bar.

Called overclockers to advise that the info they gave was incorrect, was told the HDD cage can be removed from the Antec 300..... not unless I drill the rivets holding it in place!

Hi,

I've not set a budget, as such. Looking at the Corsair 800D which is a little over £200 so anything below that is great lol.

Hi,

Thanks for the recommendations. I finally decided to get the Corsair 800D plenty of room for the 5970 OC.

I just need to find some decent and silent 120mm and 140mm case fans now.
