Zalman HD160 - Will A 7800GTX Fit Inside?

[mrchu]

Looking to purchase this HTPC case, but I need to know if my 7800gtx will fit inside?

This is probably pushing it...but would it have space for SLI'd 7800gtx's?

Cheers Guys!

it takes atx mobo sizes. even tho most of the high end nvidia cards are REALLY BIG!....the purposly wont go over the max width of an ATX mobo....sooo, technically speaking, yeah, it should fit, bt no1 knows what else might be in the way, seen as its not a standard case, and there are likely to be problems.

the only thing you can do is buy the case, put ur mobo in and see if theres space to the right hand side of the mobo at the pci-x slot level. ...eg, that no HDD's will be sticking out there.

Is your 7800GTX this type?

...or this type?

If it's latter type, it probably is the same size as my GTO so I can measure it up for you if you want.

The second link doesn't work for me so I can't check...but it's basically a first gen xfx pre-overclocked 7800gtx...one of the first that came out so I'm thinking its probably the biggest aswell

I've sent an e-mail direct to scan to find out if they can tell me if it will fit inside...if not I might have to sniff out a more powerful card that will fit in and possibly have native HDMI output.

Oh yeah, you already have 7800GTX sorry I must have been sleeping
But judging from this hd160 internal picture, I think it would fit.
On this picture,
the length of 2x pci backplate slot= 12 mm
the length of graphic card = 70.6mm
which means graphic card is 5.9 times longer than 2x backplate.
I just measured real 2x pci backplate slot length which is roughly 3.8 cm, so
real length of installed card in this picture is roughly 3.8 x 5.9 =22.42 cm
The length of my 7900GTO is about 23cm(I believe your 7800GTX is about the same?),
therefore there will be enough room for your card to fit in, I think.
