antec 900 VS Antec 1200

[brothergc]

I gotta issue with my antec 900 , problem is that my 9800GTX barely fits almost hitting the drive cages . how does the antec 1200 compair in this respect is it any longer ?
If not then what case has good lenth to acomadate the huge nvidia vid cards that are black, have a window , and cool real well

I recently installed a 4870 (also a long card) in an antec 1200 with absolutely no problems. There's about 2 inches of clearance between it and the hdd cages.

Antec 1200 is longer, and can accommodate the larger cards, even with the middle fan bracket. I've owned both

I used to run a 9800gx2 in mine with a middle fan bracket and there was still 1/2" of room or so.

You could also go with a coolermaster stacker or cosmos....but IMHO the 1200 is the best in its price class.

Of the three cases you just mentioned the 1200 beats the other 2 in price by a wide margin.

Depends on where you look

The Cosmos is $40 more but you get what you pay for.

If you have money to blow, the 190 is one of the best cases ive seen im my life, its one of the most highend cases for its size.

The 900 and 1200....they can get pretty loud compared to my old p180.

I'm gonna eventually Buy a case like this or a 1200 for my main rig and just move parnts in and out of it as I upgrade use my current case as a secondary/Folding 24/7 rig all I need to do is save up a good amount of money to do it. Sadly i think ill be going Intel with my next build unless we can get some great new Phenom's.
