I'm thinking about getting 2 HD 3870's to Crossfire. I have a Apevia X dreamer 2 Midtower case?
I know the card is 9" in length (Length is my concern) I took some measurements and at 9" i run right into the Power connector piece on the mobo. It "appears" that i may clear it on the underside by a fraction of an inch, (Ill have to relocate my HDD) But thats not an issue.
I would have gone for the 3870x2 but its 10.5" long and that simply wont fit at all. Besides i cant afford it. I screwed up buying this case
Has anyone tried this or can anyone confirm if its going to be possible to install 2 cards like this.
