So, I thought it would be great if somebody could list some highly-rated computer cases that would fit the Gigabyte G1 GTX 970. It measures 16" long. Most full ATX cases on Newegg only guarantee space for a 13" card at most. So basically, which cases do you think would have the least trouble with installation, and without interfering with the hard drive bay too much?
Best cases for a GTX 970?

The asus strix card is only 280mm long if you want to use redundant units. The enthoo pro supports a 472mm card (18.5 inches in your redundant units)

The GTX 970 actually measures 10.5" http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-970/specifications
So basically most midtowers and up should fit. PCPartPicker will warn you about possible length issues if you choose to assemble there, which you should, and that's what she said haha.

You can go to PCPartPicker, find cases, and they will display the maximum length of video cards that would fit with mid-drive cage and without.
For example the Fractal Design R4: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/fractal-design-case-fdcadefr4blo
You'll see:
Maximum Video Card Length
11.61" (295mm) With Drive Cages
16.93" (430mm) Without Drive Cages
The length of your card according to the Reddit chart is 312mm

Yeah I thought that was a bit odd.
This model is listed at that size: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125685
But the one I bought is listed at 16": www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125684
There's no difference other than a back plate and clock speeds, so one should not be longer than the other.
