My new Gigabyte Aurora - awsome case, so easy to install and really nicely built.

Current spec:
Pentium D 950 OCd to 4GHz
2GB Crucial Ballistix RAM
BFG 8800GTS 640MB OC
600GB of Hard drive spread over 3 drives.
Samsung SATA SH-S203BEBN 20x20 DVD RW

Next upgrade - prolly an Intel P35 mobo and a E6750

Looks to me like you won't fit a 8800GTX. I wonder if the newer version can. Its longer I beleive I am tempted to get that one. They are pretty good looking cases. Saw one in a big PC shop and the solid alu door and front is pretty nice.

It will fit a GTX. I remember reading that you have to tilt the GTX to get it around the hdd bay as there's a small bit that sticks out preventing you from just putting it straight in.

The small metal bit i mean is in the pic below:



You can see how it juts out about 1cm.

EDIT: Just had a search on google and found this http://www.maximumpc.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=50540. It seems to suggest that the GTX won't fit. I think it was on here that i read that it will fit if you lift it over, but with the search function not working i can't find out :(

EDIT2: With a bit more searching it does actaully fit, with about 1mm clearance :eek:

Well it says it won't work the p180 but alas I have a p180 and a gtx?! I will say though you wont have 2 gtx's in it and you have to have one hdd in the right slot. Mind you if you use the bottom hdd cage and take out the middle one then you can easily fit 2 gtx's and have a good airflow from front fan.

I was thinking of the newer version of your case as it has more depth and the usb and sound ports are on the front.

Yeah the new one is 10cm deeper than this one - will fit a GTX with room to swing a cat. IMO quite a good looking case too - some say otherwise. The build is just brilliant and looks fantastic.

I'm looking at the Aurora and the Aurora 570. The 570 is bigger in the specs. Does anyone have one or recommend one?
Cheers.
 
I read up a lot about the Aurora 570 a while ago, since i was interested in getting it, but it turns out that a lot of people think the cooling isn't very good. The HDD cage at the front of the case blocks a lot of air entering the case; that was the main thing that put me off.
 
Decided to give my Lian Li PC60 a face lift and fancied some 120mm Fan indulgence so got a Lian Li PC-A16A in Silver off a mate in almost brand new condition. Quite pleased with the outcome, YATE LOON 120 mm intake and exhaust, the image don't really do the inside justice with modular cables its quite tidy really. :)
