Old Antec Solo Case Question

[OllieDixon]

Does anyone remember what size video card you can use in this case? While still using all 4 HDD slots (not suspended). I always found the grommets to be good enough. Plus i will need to use 4 drives in this build.

The card i am thinking of buying is 8.3 inches. Gonna say 8.5 to be safe. It also does not have PCI power at the end of the card.

The case is in storage right now or i would just take a look lol.

Thanks

EDIT: A pic would be awesome.

10.2 inches is about the absolute maximum: I used to have this card inside (but with suspended drives), and it was really difficult to insert, so that I would have not been able to screw in any longer card, even if when mounted there were some spare mm.

I guess you will need some special cables, and in case it should be a tight fit.

Yea the drives stick out a little bit more when in the trays. looking at pics... iduno. I'd have almost a full 2 inches than you did with that card.. Hard to say :/
