Antec Dark Fleet DF-85 Full Tower PC Case Review
Re: Antec Dark Fleet DF-85 Full Tower PC Case Review
How much room is between the 480 and the chassis? It looks like there is less than 1/2" which would be an issue for those that use ATI cards that are 11+ inches long

There is an 1.625" (1-5/8") between the 480 and the drive cage. It will do up to 12.5" cards, at that length the card is very close to the drive cage.
I was showing how the hot swap brackets and the required wiring could get a little snug with a card lined up with it.

Nice! Great review btw
Re: Antec Dark Fleet DF-85 Full Tower PC Case Review
I'm getting the feeling that "Dark" is the new "Xtreme"...
Gotta love that 2.5" hot swap on the top thought! Those flip out front fans are a nice feature as well. Nice job on the review.

Wow, that thing is massive!
Re: Antec Dark Fleet DF-85 Full Tower PC Case Review
Roughly the same as the 1200, smidgen taller due to the 2.5 bay, the 700D is 5" deeper, .5" wider, and .75" taller.
