Ultra Aluminus Silver Full Tower $19.99 AR

That must be one giant graphics card if you're concerned about fitting it into a full tower with transverse HD bays.

No, I haven't seen one - that is giant. I've used this case though and would say that it's significantly larger than the average mid-tower (but certainly not nearly as large as server and Stacker-type cases). If I had that GPU I would be concerned more about mobo choices - a 10.5" card has got to be a problem on some mobos depending on component placement.
 
I have this case and its AWESOME! I was very impressed with the room inside it. The whole design of the case is awesome. If I remember tonight I can measure the inside space to see how much room there is.

Well, I wouldn't say 'awesome' 🙂 . See my December thread on it here

The good: they work, they have lots of room, MB tray, 120mm front and back

The bad: very thin steel, plastic pieces can break easily, not very "solid" feel,

Also, the large side vent can affect good air flow from front to back, but I suppose this depends on the users airflow setup 🙂
 
This thing is huge, but weak and therefore noisy. I've got one modded with several case fans and keeps my system cool. But I had to dampen it because it vibrates like crazy.

Just a little FYI.....

Also, the HD bays are a very poor design. I took mine out because the airflow from the front fan was poor.
 
I bought this case thinking it would be similar to the Antec 1080s that I have...but was disappointed. No latching case door. The door on this case interferes with the DVD drive button...so you actually have to mount the drive recessed so it doesn't push the button when you close the door. I also didn't care for the old-fashioned method of attaching optical drives to the case (with drive rails).

That said, the case *should* fit a 10.5" video card, since it's EXACTLY 10.5" from the card mounting surface at the back of the case to the rolled front lip of the HDD mounting rack. The rolled lip is about 3/8" deep, so once the card is past that, it will have 3/8" clearance at the end (I hope that makes sense).
 
It looks like the old Chieftec full tower casings. I had one of them(Antec PlusView1000AMG) except it's in secc rather than al, and even with my 6800GT it was a tight fit with the drive bays installed. If this one has the drive bay mounted traversely then it might fit, but I don't know...18.6" depth for a full tower isn't very deep.
