    Hi

    Anyone know if the Antec 300 can fit this GTX 260 - which is a 10.5 inch long graphics card?

    Thanks

    It probably would but you would need to mod your Antec 300 case, I had an Antec 900 and it barely fit my 8800GT.

    I can't find the dimensions, but my son's machine is built in and Antec 300 and its fits a 512meg 8800gts in without any problems at all. Plenty of room.
    Pretty sure these two cards are of similar sizes.

    I have the non-overclocked version of this card, it looks like it has exactly the same cooler. I've an Antec 300 and mine fits fine.

    I've just checked my other system (an Antec 300 case) with a tape measure and it should fit. You will have to think about the position of the hard drive(s) -either move them up or down if needed.
    My Antec 902 (see below) was tight for my GTX 275 which was 10.5 inches until I fitted my Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme GTX280 to it. This added about another inch to it :eeek:

    Excuse the picture quality (camera phone) :blush: oh and I've re-fitted my Tuniq Tower since this pic was taken.

    Should fit as said but might need to move HDD's Ive managed to fit a GTX 275 into a coolermaster elite 330 which i think is smaller by moving the HDD up a few places :)
