Sooo, after seeing the pictures of the new 5970, it has come to my attention that my current crappy full tower case can't accommodate the 13.5 inches of the 5970.

Pictures can be seen here:

Even the Antec 1200 had a hard time fitting the card, they even had to move the hard drive cages. I am asking help from my fellow OCNers, which full tower case can fit the soon-to-be-released 5970.

Here are some potential cases:
Antec 1200
Coolermaster HAF 932
Coolermaster Cosmos S
Silverstone Raven 1 or 2

I'm trying to keep the budget below US$200.
The case must be a Full-Tower

Corsair Obsidian 800D - $269 at micro center

price is a little higher than what you stated but I think it's well worth it

The obsidian should be beig enough but I am not sure. i know the HAF 932 will big enough for sure.

If I wasn't saving for the new 5970, that case would be perfect. I still don't know how much the new card is going to cost. There's just too much speculation about the price thus far. The range is from $499 - $649. +rep for the effort.

I know the people had a tough time fitting the card on a Antec 1200, and the 1200 is huge. I might have to go down to a Fry's or a Microcenter and manually measure the dimension on the HAF 932 and the 1200.

You might want to wait till you have the card in hand, and take it with you on your measuring spree...

I don't get it.

Yeah, both the haf and antec1200 are great choices for the price. And wow that card is HUGE aha

Having the 5970 on hand and not be able to use it ASAP will be pure torture for me. Then again, buying a case and finding out the 5970 doesn't fit, is EPIC FAIL!!!!!

Antec p180 can fit it!

Isn't that a mid-tower case. I have too many hard drives (5) and I'm planning to water-cool my rig in the near future so mid-tower is out of the question.
