So I am planning on upgrading my current Gigabyte GTX670 to 1 or possibly 2 Gigabyte GTX970, depending on my budget.

Problem is, I'm not entirely sure that even one would fit in that case since it's 312mm long versus 275mm for my current one. I've heard that the HDD bays can be moved out but wouldn't the fan come with it?

If It is not possible to fit 2 for SLI in there, I would appreciate some suggestions on a new case. I don't use water-cooling (never had to), usually fine with fans. A case with better cable management is prefered since that is my only gripe with the Antec 900.

Thanks!

Yes I have checked that already but seems like the HDD bay would be in the way. I know you can remove that but I'm wondering if the fan would go with it, cause in that case that would not be nice to have an opening because of the video card being too long.

I looked for an answer to that but I found nothing concrete so far. If anyone knows about this I would appreciate that a lot. And if for some reason it's not something that can work, then I'd like to get a few suggestions for other cases too.

Thanks!

Alright, I got an answer from them today. Here it is:

"Thank you for contacting Antec. That graphics card will fit, but as you mentioned, you'll have to remove one of the hdd cages. When you remove the HDD cage, you'll notice the fan bracket is held on by four clips, if you press in the four clips you can remove the bracket and from there you can screw the bracket by itself to the chassis - so, to summarize, yes you can remove the bay and still have the fan. I think the process is fairly straightforward once you slide out the hdd cage, although my description might not be the best. If you have any trouble let me know and I can put together a more detailed guide for you.

Kind regards,
Antec Support Team"

I will probably play with those bays tomorrow to see for myself. I'll message back then.

Alright so I managed to make enough room for two cars. I just removed one bay then put the bay with my 3 HDDs just under my disc drive so yeah I now have lots of room for them upgrades!

I have one last question for you guys, if I was to sell my GTX 670 after that, how much do you think I should put it for?

Two 970's? what are you building a nuke?

lol you crayzi, and 670 would go for about £80-110 depending on how long you've had it/OC'ed it/used it
