Some cases can accept larger video cards by saving room on the power supply, or removing drive cages.I've fallen in love with a particular case whose specs says will fit Video Graphics Cards up 9.5" in length. I want to get the most powerful graphics card for it from either AMD or Nvidia. (I'm assuming that more power equals longer length) Is there some handy table out there where I can just scan for length. I really don't want to look up each card individually.
I'm personally lusting after this thing. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1717132
Also built by Lian-Li.

Some of us actually enjoy "looking up each card individually."
WhatMeWorry wrote:The short version of the long story is that one guy had some ideas, another guy built it in a CAD program, they sent the design to Lian-Li, and Lian-Li sent back prototypes. They did an IndieGoGo; my UNDERSTANDING (which may be inaccurate) is that that was simply to have the prototypes made, and they're going to do a Kickstarter to get funding to have a production run made.Wow. That is beautiful. But I'm having trouble understanding the thread. I see references to Lian Li and Silverstone. And crowd funding. That's kinda like kickstarter, right? So will this be a limited run for just the contributors or will it be available to the general public?
