    Posted: 15 Sep 2009 at 9:01am
I'm thinking of replacing my 9800 GT (9.5" long) with a GTX 285 (10.5" long) in my 1 year old Digital storm 750SI case. I'm wondering if it will fit, with it being 1" longer? I think I have about .5"-.75" clearance from the hard drive cage now. But I'm not sure how these cards are measured? Is it from the screw tab on the mounting bracket or the PCB itself?

I put a GTX275 in my 750 case, I had to move the hard drive cage.

Yes it will fit. I have a GTX 295 in my 750SI case. The hard drive cage that Drakul is talking about is the one at the bottom of the case. You will have to remove it so that the 285 can fit. If it's not there then your good to go.

If you remove it where do you mount your Hard Drives? I have my (2) 500 Gb drives mounted in this cage.

DS mounted my hard drive in the top cage under my dvd burner, but they used two brackets to hold it in place since the hard drive is too small to fit.

I have my drive sitting on the bottom of my case (don't tell the guy who built my system, he would be appalled)
