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?
well looking at your spec you want something high end so go for the lian li p80 the 5970 will definatly fit in that case http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Lian-Li-PC-P80B-Black-Full-Tower-Aluminum-Case-w-o-PSU
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.
