The case is pretty large:
Width: 9.25 inches
Height: 23.43 inches
Depth: 23.03 inches

Also, I wish those power connectors for the 670 were on the back of the card.

Getting ready to hook up the hard drives from my last PC to see if they still work (fingers crossed).

Finally finished up the build last night. Got a bit lazy with cable management behind the back panel and just closed it up. biggrin.gif

Got a little worried today when it started squeaking because I thought one of my new hard drives was bad. Turns out that it was just a fan that I salvaged from my last build. Increasing the fan speed from low to medium made the noise go away. Speaking of hard drives, the two from my old build still work so I didn't lose any data. thumb.gif

Time to put some games on this thing!

Why dont you lube the fan with some sewing machine oil. It should stop the squeak, and prolong its life.

Yeah, I've fixed most fan problems that I've had by putting some 3 in 1 oil in. If you try this, though, be sure you seal it back up nice and tight. Take the label off carefully.

I just use electrical tape, after cleaning the back with alcohol. Same difference though. thumb.gif
