im sure it would fit in a mid case. but three? im not too sure. a full case would allow more circulation of air.

and the main question is, if you have enough $$ for 3 280's, which in my opinion are not worth it, how come you can't purchase a full tower case?

It's 10.5” long and similar in size to NVIDIA’s 9800 GX2/9800GTX, 8800GTX/Ultra and ATI's 3870x2.
Any case that fits one of those cards should be OK.
Make sure you check for good cooling options for a 2 or 3 way setup.

Yeh i see.
It's not that i can't afford a full tower, it's just i don't want a that big of case, but now i actually think i will go for a full tower.
Anyways, anyone got any good suggestions for a full tower case, (I'm not into side windows and LED lights, more of the slick finish and stylish look) Like the the Performance One series from Antec (P182,P190) but then i guess these would become to small or have poor air circulation...
