What case?

B0X

So I've just realised the case I have wont fit the graphics card i'm getting

It needs to fit this: http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/NVIDIA_Series/ENGTX570_DCII2DIS1280MD5/

(11.5 inches!?)

Any recommendations, nothing too pricey, I wasnt planning on having to get a case.

Anything from Amazon.co.uk prefereably, or either Dabs or Scan (I need it soon and want to pay by card)

This is a nice one:

Cheaper option:

http://www.dabs.ie/products/antec-300-three-hundred-case-black-6252.html?refs=42080000-40730000

Both should fit it, I think, but you'll want to look at a review just to be sure.

I'd avoid the Antec 300, its pretty dated. If you're willing to order from komplett then this would be a great pickup:

Or a few good options from scan:

I just ordered that GPU.

I can tell it fits in this case:

Just though... And its a mAtx case...

The HAF gets my vote anyway. Id say for that price its hard to beat and you have free delivery from Komplett

Thanks for the advice lads. I actually decided to drill out the rivets that held on the HDD bay so I could remove it for the space.

I moved the hard drive to the Floppy disk bay and everything seems to be working grand

Saves me about €100! Looking forward to the upgrade now.

Here's a few pics of what I did (Gigabyte Aurora case if anyone's interested):

is it just the GPU your replacing?

No everything except the powersupply and the HDD.

ah ya was wondering. thought that 570 would look a bit lost in there otherwise!

The other thing about moving the HDD is that if you are going to have more that one up there it could get a bit heated. Just trying to work out the airflow in that case - the 5.25 inch bays look a bit isolated. Might be possible to add a fan.

I have a coolermaster cosmos and I added this to increase the hard drive space. Just an idea if your adding a few drives or want to add a fan
