Hi ! What's the distance between the Antec 1200/902's HDD cadge and the 10.5" GFX before they make contact? Is it possible for the 1200/902 to take a DirectX 11 GFX if they are (10.5+1.5)". I am asking this as I want to make the decision on whether to get the Antec 902 or not. Those who have either 1200 or 902 please answer me.
p.s 1200 is 4cm longer than the 902

Cheers!:)

Below is the dimension of PCIE cards(Short and Long)

To fit a 12inch Video card The drive bays in front must be adjusted to the farthest setting(There are 4 screws-hole to move it).

Hard drive can not be installed directly in front of the Video card.
You need to factor in the PS connectors for the video & hard drive on that BAY.

The Antec Twelve Hundred is a full tower case while the Antec Nine Hundred Two is a mid-tower. However, as you already know there is not much difference in the depth from front to back.

I know both cases can accomodate a graphics card that is 11 inches long. It would be a tight fit but it can be done. I don't know if a 12 inch card will fit.

Will this work for 902 as well? Or just 1200?

In addition, it seems that the further screw holes are lower. Will I have to get rid of the bottom HDD cadge to achieve this?

Thanks
