Will an ASUS GTX 680 Directcu ii TOP fit in an Antec 300 case?

[IIXxReCoNxXII]

im buying an Asus gtx 680 directcu ii top. Im only worried about the length. the length of the asus 680 is 11.75 in. I have put a ruler inside my case and it looks like it would fit except for a problem which is the metal interior of the hard-drive bay, which could get in the way if the fan shroud decides to sit there. just wondering if it would fit. Thankyou in advance

It might not fit, the HDD rack would come in the way.

i thought that might be a problem, though im very sure that the end of the graphics card would go inside the hdd bay if it has to.

Yes, around an inch would go inside. If you're using a single HDD, then maybe you can make it work

thanks for the reply, im buying the 680 soon so i moved my 3.5" hdd to the middle of the rack to make room. im quite sure this card will fit, ive heard people have put a Radeon 4850 (12.5") in it
