Looking at getting a new video card and i was looking at the HD 5870 and HD 5850 wondering if those would fit in a antec 900 case ?

A 5850 will certainly fit without much struggle, but a 5870 might give you some trouble, depending on the wiring. Worst case scenario you'll not be able to use (maybe even need to remove) the HDD bays right behind it.

IIRC the 5870 is ~11", and the 5850 is about 9.5".

Here's your case, and I believe the measurement is correct:



I'd say it's worth it

it'd fit, but you cannot but HDD's in the middle HDD cage. good luck!
My watercooled GTX295 fits no problem. Kinda tight but it works. HD5870 is shorter so there's no doubt it will fit.
Thanks wont be buying it till after xmas probly cant find them in stock now anyway i wonder if a 680 watt psu will be enugh for it and my quad.
I had a second fan in the back of the middle hard drive bay. I had to take it out to fit the 5850.

Yeah, another thing that makes it easier is if you move the cages out a little bit so they are flush with the front bezel.
