GTX 280 with a lian Li

[UltraVioletDream]

Will a GTX 280 fit in my LIAN LI PC-A05B? I know for sure it will fit a 8800GTS (512), how much bigger is the GTX 280?

I have both, sorta. My 8800 GTS 512 is just a hair over 9" long, and the GTX285 is almost 10.75" long... so yeah... it might present a problem with the A05B. My plan at one time was to get an A05 and rip out the HDD cage anyways... it gets in the way of air flow as well. Then, use a 3.5" fan controller for the floppy bay, and that leaves two 5.25" bays... one for the DVD drive, one for the HDD in a heatpipe cooler/adapter tray. Removing the HDD bay then (drill a couple rivets) opens up enough space for a GTX280 then.

My 4870 X2 fits, the GTX260 or 280 will fit for sure. Sits over the hard drive at the end, lots of room.

Search is your friend.

I had both the X2 and GTX 280, both fit fine.
