Nvidia has them both at 10.5in so if your GTX 280 fits, so should a 9800gtx+. Sure you want to get that? The 4870 is going for $113 right now.

I have an Antec case also and 10.5" is too long for me (can't lose the 120mm fan I have up front).
These are the non-reference models that are shorter (that I know of):

This one may fit since the pcie connectors are on the top and not the front of the card:

If you can wait a week or two the GTS250 should be out which is the same card and I read there are to be non-reference boards that are shorter.

The GTX 280 is 26.5 cm long in PCB, i guess anything longer than that would cause the trouble. I looked around and find some saying its 27.5 cm long but still won't believe it would be actually longer than a GTX280. so post a thread here, hope somebody with clear answer can help this out. |

I think the reference design puts the power connector on the top as well, but some non-reference design like asus dk version put them on the front? correct me if i am wrong cos this is quite important. if GTS250 comes up with only the change in name that should be fine just to get a 9800GTX+ right now cos the price is dropped a few. btw, he get a old model of Antec Sonata II just like you. The case itself is great, has a sound proofing side panel, but just a bit short of space from inside in my opinion. not that suitable for overclockers. thanks for the help anyway
