Does anyone know which case this is? A brand, maybe?

Hello. I am currently trying to find out whether or not a GTX 1070 would fit in my case. It would help to know my case's specs, but the trouble is, my case seems brand-less. I had my PC pre-built from an eBay seller and cannot remember their name (it was several years ago). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

(I recognise that my cable-management is non-existent).

EDIT: Thanks to g-unit1111, I have found an incredibly similar case here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811208027

Keep in mind you should gain a couple of mm with the GPU case brackets removed and the GPU installed. I think you should be fine. Also, I would say that your case itself is very "mod-able"." If you need a bit more space to give the 1070, (from what I can see) you can just cut out a bit of the HDD cage to make it fit.

I have no idea about the brand of the case, but you can measure the clearance you have (inches). Start at the back of your case where the GPU brackets are (match up with the PCIE slot you will use) and then measure to your Hard Drive Cages. If it is 10.5 " or greater, your card should fit fine. A GTX 1070 is 10.5" long.

Thank you very much. That is exactly what I've done. However, the issue is, it is EXACTLY that measurement. From the beginning of my current GPU (back of my case) to the beginning of the hard drive cage, there is 26.7cm of space, and the GTX 1070 is 26.667. I feel like the 1 millimetre gap would be too risky to invest in. Do you agree?
Thanks.

I realise this isn't an answer to the case question, but you have helped with what I was asking the case question for. Thank you very much. I'm currently waiting to see the price and benchmarks of the GTX 1070 Mini from Gigabyte, but I'll probably end up getting the standard one anyway and hoping for the best. Thanks again!

Any knowledge of the case would still be appreciated :)

Thank you; I'll look into these brands. Also, I thought that, but one of the Evo's heatpipes is pressed tightly against the side of my case and has slightly cracked it, so it's clear that it wasn't meant to fit in a case of that size.

Update: I found a very similar one! It's definitely Xion from its appearance http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811208027

Okay, thank you nonetheless. I thought about this also but it seems it was on a much older account :(
