    Hi all

    I was wondering

    what cases are safe bets for a HD5970. In review the other day it mentioned the card being the longest card ever? will it fit in a corsair Obsidian 800D. or a cooler master cosmos s or a ATCS 840?

    just wondering as i'm designing a new ultimate PC and wanted to know what people think:

    CPU-Intel core i7 975 might change for i9 when available
    mobo - Asus ROG rampage II
    RAM - 12gb Corsair Dominator GT 2000MHz
    Graphics - 5870 crossfire or 5970
    case - ...................
    HDD - 2x samsung F3 1TB
    SSD - Corsair Vertex 128gb
    CPU cooler- Corsair H50 Rev. 2
    PSU - Enermax revolution 1.05Kwatt
    OD - LG bluray writer, LG 24x DVD-WR
    OS - windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
    sound card - ASUS Xonar D2X

    am i missing anything

    i have no budget as its theoretical, no possibility in me getting it as am only 16. the reason i haven't listed water cooling components is because i am not using it as I, for one don't know which components are needed and which aren't, secondly, I'm way too inexperienced to atempt building a water cooling rig... even in my head! :)

    any thoughts suggestions welcome :0)

    They used a Antec 1200 in the review so I'd assume all full tower cases that support E-ATX motherboards? Because correct me if I'm wrong but E-ATX is wider than ATX but not taller?

    I'm pretty sure it will fit in any full tower

    well I know it won't fit in my Antec P160 as I probably have less than 5mm clearence with nVidia260GTX before contacting the drive bays.

    Keep the dream going, at least dreams cost nothing, for everything else there's master card.
