Antec 900 and a 8800GTS

[redline42]

okay so i recieved my GTS today and after looking at it im thinking its prob not that much longer than a 7900series card..

but can this card fit inside a Antec 900? especially with the way the 900 is set up?

it looks long enough but im just not sure...the power cables look lke they will be kind of tight in the box...

does anyone have a 900 and can they fit either a 880GTS or GTX?

thanks

I'm fairly certain the GTS will have no problem. I was doing math on the case the other day, seeing the total length of the case and subtracting front bezel and hdd cage and I came out with 12" or so, barely enought for a 8800GTX..

But this math was all on my head and guesstimating how the hdd cage really is... whether it'll fit a GTX is uncertain (might be off by an inch) , but a GTS is definitly fine.

I have this case and card... and it fits, no worries. Just have to be creative with powersupply cables and hope they're long enough, cause the vidcard blockades the whole middle of the case.

I just ordered a Antec 900 and a 8800 GTX, is this really going to be an issue or should I be ok?

i have an Antec NeoHE 550 with the modular cables...will i have any problems with cables being too short.?

also how much room is left to add that 120 inside?

Yeah... routing cables will be a problem. I saw the nine hundred at fry's yesterday, and fitting an 8800GTX might be a real squeeze. Cable wiring is gonna be a pain in the arse also... you can't route the cables through the back either...

Cable lengths should be fine. It isn't a particularly tall case, at least tall in the areas that you need to get wires to. I have seen a 8800GTX in a Nine Hundred and it fit fine. Creativity and time is all you need if you want to route the cables nicely.
