Okay, so I was literally a few seconds away from ordering this beautiful case:



When all of a sudden... I saw the "Pros and Cons" about the case at the bottom of the page.

The Cons which stood out for me:
- "Can not fit Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo"
- "Can not fit high end GPUs"

So i read some reviews and comments. Some people said the cable management was bad. Some people said the cable management was very good. Everyone said the case had heaps of room. And of course... The occasional "Can't fit high-end GPUs".

SO THEN I went to their website.

One of there main features contained the sentence "gives the user ample space for large, high-end video cards"

WHY am i reading two completely different things?! Do they fit or not?!

So basically, if anyone has ANY knowledge of this case, or knows whether a GTX 7xx would fit into this case, along with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, I would be extremely greatful.

Check out some pictures from this link:

There's a few other builds on pcpartpicker of people using this case and fitting a full length card in there just fine. This guy fit two 780s in the case, so that's something. The con is that they are long, and will cover your SATA ports, and will get *very* close to the drive bays, but you should be able to fit a 7-series card just fine.

As for the Hyper212 Evo, this guy fit a Hyper212 Plus in there just fine, so i imagine the Evo can't be much bigger.

Hope that helps!

Wait... What the hell?! I emailed NZXT support and asked them if a GTX 7xx would be able to fit in the case and they replied with a "unfortunately those graphic cards will not fit in the case".

And on top of this i JUST ordered the NXZT Phantom 410 because i thought the graphics card wouldn't fit in the Guardian... Oh my god i'm so angry right now.

It occurred to me I linked to the wrong one mentioning the 780s.

There, you see, they "fit" but there's barely any room.
