5970 in Antec One Hundred?

[dje]

This may belong in the cases forum.

I've confirmed a 5970 will fit in the Antec Twelve Hundred. Based on Antec's marketing photos, the interior of the One Hundred is similarly laid out. Are there any examples of long video cards in the One Hundred? Is there 12+ inches of video card space? I think my eyes may be optimistic and therefore deceive me.

As far as I know you can fit a 5970 in a one hundred, but you need to not have any drives in that area (stick them lower down) - be careful though, that's a lot of heat from a graphics card to go in such a small case.

Thanks!

I game with headphones, so noise does not disturb. I am hoping a 100+ cfm fan at the side panel will create enough airflow.

I'm not really concerned about noise, just keep an eye on the temperatures of both the 6990 and the rest of your system
