I've found, so far, the Corsair 600T and 650D which will support the card. The 650D supports it even with the top hdd bays in place.
I like the smaller form of the Corsair 500R and that it's 15lbs. I have to remove the top hdd bay to fit my card in there.
Also, if I want to crossfire with 2 3-slot cards(currently I don't, but who knows about later. And yeah, I forgot to mention that the 345mm card also takes up 3 slots) then I think there would be no space for hard drives, eh?
I have a Thermaltake Shark now that doesn't remotely fit the drive. I had a 5770 that is 210mm, didn't expect this card with the gpu cooler I got to come in at 345mm. A lot of cases are disappointing me at coming in at 25+lbs, and/or not supporting such a big card. I thought my current case is heavy despite coming in at 15lbs!
I saw this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112367 That looks like it'd fit the card with the hdd bays removed, but then where do you put hdds(I have 3)? I guess 1 or 2 would go in the 5.5" bays, eh?
I'm having trouble finding cases because none of the sites I've tried allow have a search by expansion slot clearance, or a filtering ones with removable hdd bays.
Also, the FT02 might clear fine with fan(s) removed, but I think there could be heatpipe efficiency issues with the Accelero Extreme gpu cooler I have, and it's too expensive.
I'm looking for ones that are $160 or less. I also don't like front door panels, they are pointless to me. If anyone can help with any input or more options, that'd be great. Thanks.
