okay, i have a Geforce gtx 275 graphics card currently, as i am about to order the other parts for my first gaming rig, i would like to know what cheap case i can get that can hold a card that is 10.5 inches long.

i just want to make absolutely sure i have everything right, i dont want to end up spending money on something thats useless.

Buying online? They should provide the information. Most are the same size. Unless its one of those smaller Pc I have seen. Look at the facts at what kind of case you want.

10.5" tends to be the norm these days for high end cards....the huge ones are close to 12". Anyways, what's your definition of "cheap"?

The http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Computer-Case-RC-692-KKN2/dp/B00336EM0W/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1313215750&sr=8-6 is a hell of a case.

The http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233&Tpk=haf%20912 costs a bit less, but very good too.

The http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153&Tpk=rosewill%20challenger is a decent budget case

I use http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129066 and it has plenty of space for my GTX560Ti (which is apparently 9", but there's still more room), comes with a lot of fans too.

I've been thinking of getting that one for my own rig once I get the money scraqed together. How good are the fans in it, and how quietly do they run? The only thing I'm worried about is whether or not that thing's going to sound like a jet taking off with that many fans in it.

It's pretty quiet, considering the size of the fans.
