I plan to build a mid-ranged gaming PC, and everything is sorted out and selected, however I am concerned about the case. I'm afraid of the inside not being able to fit everything inside, espescially the GPU, the MSI Radeon R9 270. The card is about 10 inches long, and the case is 16.5 inches long. Also, if I choose to install an aftermarket fan later on (most likely), will the case fit THAT as well? The case has dimensions of 15 x 16.5 x 7. Can someone tell me if everything will be able to fit? Thanks.

That is certainly a concern, as the front cage is integrated into the case.

One of their numbers is off. They claim the dimensions to be 17.75 at the max, but supports for a 400mm (15.75 inch) video card. There is no way the front of that case is only 2 inches thick. Unless the card is intended to fit up where the 2.5 inch drives go. In which case a video card with power cables on the side, like the one you have, might have some issues fitting or making the bend.

I would avoid it.

The more I look at it the more I'm sure it will fit, but it is just not a very expandable case. There are cheaper cases that offer more options. BitPhenix Merc Alpha, Cooler Master Elite, or the NZXT Tempest offer somewhat simple looking cases, but decent interior layout.

Do you know any case that WOULD fit the card, under $40?
