I'm doing my first new build in about 10 years and ideally I want to keep my new i5 sandybridge, gtx560 and 650w psu all overclocked and relatively cool in my old Coolermaster ATCS Balck Widow case.

I've not done a new build in some time so i'm wondering if all this new technology will comfortably fit in my old cramped but beautiful case and if the 4 x 80cm fans will be enough to keep everything cool.

I'm already restricted on the CPU cooler i can use due to the size but i'm not sure about other components. anyone familiar with 10 year old cases? :D
 
Well the bits you want such as the long graphics card and such will more than likely not fit.

But the black widows are rare, so sell for money or keep for sentimental value.
 
If you take a Dremel to a Black widow I will hurt you.

The problem inside with the Black widow is the HDD cage/frame.

A elite430 will take all cards including a ATI6990.

A standard GTX560ti is 9" long, so measure from the back slots to the cage.
 
Just popped into scan with a tape measure :) the 560ti is fat as well as long and worries me but i think im going to give it a go, the arctic freezer 7 looks like it will fit though. The dremel will stay away so if it doesnt fit I may have to part with the Widow :(
 
Thanks for the help by the way. Im excited by returning to my childhood hobby so no doubt ill take some pictures of the rig to share with fellow Widow fans.
