Default Will 3 gtx280's fit in a lian li armorsuit pc-p60 case?

Hey Guys,
Will 3 gtx280's fit in a lian li armorsuit pc-p60 case?
I already have a true set up and that fits, but does anyone know if 3 gtx280's will fit in my case? if not, i can trade it for a pc-p80 for $100.
thanks

The fact that it's a DDR2 board might have something to do with it.

Why do you want three of them?

I'd guess it has something to do with the fact that he's already got a 790i motherboard, and one GTX280.

In before "OMG 4870 instead".

To answer your question, if one fits, three should fit. Card length is your primary concern here.

i just want to know if three would fit, so that in the future when the price drops even more, i could buy another two and not have to run into the problem of having to buy a new case because mine is too small

One is overkill
Two is just pure massacre
Three, hell, not even infinite goes that far.

Lets keep this on topic.

To answer your question: Length is your first concern. If one fits, the other two should also fit.

Then next issue is the heat. I dont know much about the case, but 3x GTX280s will put out a lot of heat. You will have to make sure you have adequate air flow. If the other case that you listed has better air flow, I would suggest going with that. And you said that its $100. Surely that isnt too much if you can possibly affoard 3x GTX280s.

thank you so much for the response.
i cant afford 2 other gtx 280's at the moment, but im saying this in case i want to upgrade in the future.
also, i think im just going to get the bigger case, the better airflow will cool my temps on just about everything

You won't need to upgrade to 3 in the future. By the time you can afford that, there will be a much better single card solution available
