Antec Sonata Elite & nVidia GTX 260

[E3000]

Hey guys,

Quick question...
Just wanted to know if an nVidia GTX 260 will fit into an Antec Sonata Elite case.
Specifically Gigabyte GeForce GTX 260 OC 896 MB (Core 216).
I am looking around the internet and some sites say it's length is 9.5" where as others say 10.5". The official site does not show the dimensions.

Thanks to anyone that can help me.

C'mon, SOMEONE must know surely?

Antec cases in that series aren't very deep (this one is only 17.3" deep), so I'd imagine 9.5" would be OK (as that is the length of the standard ATX mobo), but 10.5" would be very tight if not impossible. The Rosewill R5605 (and others in the R560x series, aka Yeong Yang 560x) has 11" of measured card space and is better than most of the other Rosewill models.

Be careful here. I just looked up dimensions for my Antec Sonata II, which fits an XFX GTX 260 BE (c216). It fits it, but with only about 2 centimeters of room before hitting the drive rack.

Sonata II (D) : 18.25"
Sonata Elite (D) : 17.3"

Just a heads up. Not saying it will/will not fit, rather that my build is very tight. HTH
