Antec 300 Big Enough for Crossfire Configuration?

[InnocentNoobie]

I have seen pictures of Antec 300 cases, and it looks like a Xfire setup with 4870s would nearly have one of them touching the PSU in the case. Any thoughts? I'm thinking about doing this setup so would like to know if I'm getting into trouble

what mb are you getting? i got a p5q pro on the 300 and i would have to say the second card would be pretty close to the psu. Also considering the fact that all 4870's are dual slot you might have be cutting it too close. But if you have a smaller mb you could just be fine. Have you looked into the cm590? it's also a great looking case i would say it's an equal to the 300 but im not sure if it's any bigger than it, or if you got a little more cash you could get a cm690 which is taller and would elimitate your problem, it's also got mesh where the psu goes so you can put it with the fan facing down so the psu fan isn't sucking all the hot air coming from the 4870.

Ya I'm getting a P5Q... I really like the Antec 300 for the money... But would be dissapointed if I couldn't do a Xfire setup on it... oh well

Make sure you get right angle sata cables also. The longer cards get really close to the hard drives.
