This is something which should be Googled. We'll be googling it for you, but you can also Google this for yourself. I'll post here, wait a minute.

Mid-tower: Elite 335 - Cooler Master

Mini-tower: Elite 342 - Cooler Master

Dimensions vary from cabinet to cabinet. But this should give you a rough idea.

Now HD 6850 is ~10inch long.

Have a look at the link which I posted in my previous post.

[utkarsh009]

@desiibond: so it should fit into 15 inch long cabinet.

You need to verify this first.

Off Topic.

Guys, one thing can be noticed now.

i.e Don't cover your Cabinet with cloth, just in order to protect it from dust.

Covering cpu is just like making CPU breath his own **** & moreover the inside temperature swing high, which is just bad for the lifetime of the Mobo & Proc.

Here the case may be, such kind of cabinet doesn't come with a top air fins, but still on the other side, you have your SMPS mounted on the back top & SMPS requires proper airflow in order to cool himself & cloth blocks that hot air to move out.

i dont have that extra cage for hdd at the bottom. what is the length of blue line btw? but there is the mobo and bunches of wire inside. btw what is the length of gts 450? how is it as compared to hd 5770? i may buy them also if budget doesnt allow me to go for hd6850.

Good, you should be able to add HD 6850 then.

HD 5770 > GTS 450 in performance. Both GTS 450 and HD 5770 are 8.5 inches afaik.

ok thanks to all for replying. btw i removed the cloth now.

[desiibond]

yes. it should work well. Is possible, get an extra fan if you have a side or front vent for a fan and replace rear fan with a better one. that GPU might need a bit extra cooling

[utkarsh009]

there is a fan in the front already. at the back there is smps fan. do i need more?

[desiibond]

if you mean fan inside smps, it's better to add a good fan to push hot air out (at the vent next to I/O ports)

[utkarsh009]

ok thanks! i will see whether there is a fan near i/o ports or not. if not then i will add it before purchasing the graphics card.
