Antec 300 and the 9800gtx...Will it Fit?

Post by Alonestone »

I currently have an Antec 900 case, I need something smaller. Looking into the Antec 300 but I have a monsterous card. Does anyone know if the Nvidia 9800gtx Card will fit in the case?

Going from a 900 to a 300 you are only losing 1.4" off of the height and 0.1" off of the depth.

So if the 9800GTX fits in the 900 with more than 0.1" of clearance, it should fit in the 300.

Yeh I did some Measurements of the 900 and the 300. I see that the Dimensions of the 900 are 19.4x18.4x8.1 and the 300 are 18x18x8.1. But, I didn't know if the inside provided enough space for the Card. Worried about the location and size of the Drive bays would get in the way. I haven't see any reviews that say that the 9800 fits in the 300. I have however seen reviews that says the 8800 fits in the 300.

Well the 8800GTX is the same length as the 9800GTX so you should be good to go.
