Will a MSI Cyclone 768MB OC fit in an Antec300 case?

With a P7P55D mobo..?

The card is a bit larger than most GTX460 it seems so I'm making double sure before I order everything together tomorrow...

 

[happy medium]

yes
Ive heard of a gtx470 fitting.

I know the Antec 300 will fit 10.5" long cards. Only possible issues would be blocked HDD bays if the card is very long.

This. I have an Antec 300, and because the drive bay is populated w/4 HDDs, 10.5" cards won't fit. Anything under 10" will, though.

I'll be using just one optical drive + 1 HDD.

MAYBE 2 HDDs at some point. But I really don't see it much. I don't need much storage.

10" is the limit. i had a 9.5" 4890 in mine before my MSI GTX 460 and it barely fit. The 460's are actually very small cards considering there power.

I have two Cyclones in sli in a antec 300, with a HD across from them. It all fits fine.
The power connectors even face towards the front, I had no problem inserting the connectors.
They run cool and quiet.

The card isn't long enough to interfere with the SATA ports?

I had a triple wide 8800 GTX with an Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 8800 in an Antec 300 case at one time (with one HD). It was a little over 10 inches and fit fine. The Cyclone isn't a large card. If it blocks any ports so will most any other card.

Thanks. Got a P7P55D which is relatively recent and I believe should be ok...

I have the gigabyte p55 ud4P , all the sata ports are front facing, angled. I stuck a couple new extra cables I have in the ports, but I can get in there regardless.
I notice a lot of people worry about measurements, more often than not , everything fits or will work with a little adjustment. Its nice to try and think of everything but impossible. I have a slot between my cards in sli, I'd like to tell you I planned that with my choice of m/b, but I chose it at the time for other reasons, but glad I did.

even a 5870 will fit...
