Antec NSK4480 & Xigmatek HDT-S1283: Will it fit?

[hamsystem]

Topic pretty much says it all. I've got the case already and will be ordering the innards next week and I wanna know if the Xigmatek will fit in it. If not, I guess I'll go with the Coolermaster Hyper TX2. I'm basically building the TH $500 machine for my girlfriend. Anywho, thanks for any info.

I would have to say no...

The 4480 is 200mm wide... while the S1283 is 159mm... that only gives you 40mm to play with considering you need the side panels added in the actual motherboard mounting and the motherboard. Then the CPU. Its looking grim.

^Agreed. It will be very close.

 

[hamsystem]

Yeah, thats kinda what I figured. Oh well, I'm sure the Coolermaster will be fine. Thanks guys.

No, I have one in my Antec 900 and it is only 5mm wider, but it BARELY fits in it.

The blood raven, did you need to do any mods to the case (antec 900) to fit the Xigmatek Dark Knight S1283V inside?
