Can you measure the distance to the HDD cages? you need 11.5", the card is also 5" thick as its a whopper.

If you have a harddrive installed opposite where the graphics card sits, you may have to move it to a lower or higher drive bay.

570 from MSI gone up £15 from the other week?

It was on a weekly deal, the weekly deals go from Wednesday to Wednesday.

Is it actually worth the size? I only picked it cos I want a 570 and that was on weekly sale.

well you need to make sure what ever GTX570 you select can fit in, they do vary a lot, some are 228MM long and some are close to 280-290mm long

The case is pretty big and I have no hdd's in the bottom enclosures. It should fit fine.
