PC case help .?

Would i be able to fit four 5870's (2gb version) in this case. I probubly never will run quadfire but i want to have the option...Tri-fire is a more realistic possibility Thanks

Yes. That case will accept an ATX motherboard (which is what size the motherboard will be to have 4 PCIe slots).PC case help .?
No, you won't be able to fit 4 5870's. That is because the case has only 7 expansion slots and a 5870 takes 2 expansion slots so therefore you need 8. Secondly the 5870 is the longest video card out there at almost 11 inches (10.8 exactly) and not all mid towers are able to accommodate that. If you can find the case at a local store you should measure the distance between the expansion slots and the internal 3.5'' drive bay or maybe email nzxt about that. But my advice is that if you are willing to spend that amount of money for a tri or quad crossfire configuration you'll better invest 50 to 100$ more and get a full tower which will give more room and possibly better ventilation. Also keep in mind that tri or quad crossfire scaling is not that good.
