I got parred off when I found out new mobo doesnt fit my case, I’m looking for a cheap big case that gets the job done. coolmaster 330 looks good but someone said they couldn’t fit their Radeon HD 4870. I got a gigabyte 460gtx which is pretty big cuz it has two fans and shit. recommend away.

Antec 300 (£45): http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0017Q8IAA/ref=asc_df_B0017Q8IAA6043248?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B0017Q8IAA

Comes with two fans (one large on top of case, one medium on the back of the case) and plenty of spaces on the front of the case for extra fans if they’re needed. No problems fitting a 4870 for me :)

I have an antec 300 on my 2nd pc, fits a 4870 easy aslong as your cables arent piss poor.

I really like the R3 by Fractal, Great sound proofing, good price, pretty good airflow and nice cable management solutions.
I don’t think its as big as the antec but worth a look.

Wolf really. the 330 will be fine, ur card is 21cm long. its not that big! u had a gtx260 right? That is a longer card. measuring 26.7cm long.

As for the depth, the card takes up 2 spaces. maybe 3 if u got one with the ugly fans on.

Worst come to the worst u possition your HDD lower in the case. (simples.)

TLDR Edition.
Your card would fit into a micro atx case, would just need to move the HDD lower down.

CM 334 has same internals as 330.

I have a 334 and a reference design HD4870. This fits.

Thats what i use, its like £20.

Got normal sized mobo and 2 6870’s which fit fine.
However i wouldnt recommend a midi case if you have a non modular psu, at least not that case as there is barely any room for cables at the bottom/back.
