I have an antec 900
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product

I keep reading in reviews that the size is very large at 11", I know some cards require a lot of space, and this is one of them. Since I will not be near my desktop for awhile, I was wondering if someone could tell me if it would fit just fine.

Though I understand that you cannot have a HDD in the opposite drive bay caddy slot.

Am going to have to make room in my case as have 6 HDD's, just going to get a 5 1/4 bay converter and move it up.

Have fun with you new toy when you get it ^^

I have a 900 with a 10.5 inch GPU. There is another inch before it hits the drive bay so an 11 inch card should fit as long as there is no drive at the same height.

If you are one of those with a thermaltake xaser cases you will be ok. I was able to fit a slightly larger card so any with one of those cases will be ok. Keep in mind about cable management when installing the card don't want to bust any sata cables.
