Will this card fit?

[josh609]

Hey everyone,
I bought this card the other day:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102888

- SAPPHIRE 100290SR Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Eyefinity 6 Edition Video Card

When it was only $200. I haven't heard any complaints about this card not fitting into mid size ATX cases, so I would like your input.

- COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel , SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Thank you!

It might fit, it might not. It'll be a tight squeeze.

Will most likely extend into 1 or 2 of the HDD bays. If you can take those out and just mount your HDD in the top area.

That video card is between 10", 10 1/2", or 11" depending on brand, so get a tape measure to check it out. It should extend slightly longer than the motherboard.

I have that case. I just checked, it looks like regardless of whether its 10 or 11" long, you will not be able to use the 3.5" bays that the card runs parallel to.

However, you're lucky that this case has so many 3.5" drive bays, it looks like there are 3 or 4 under the top pci-e slot for you to use without any trouble.

Hey everyone,
The card does indeed fit. It was a tight squeeze and I had to angle the card into the drive bay just to get it into the slot. But it is up and running perfectly. Thank you for your help!
