EATX dimensions..... Will it fit?

[csiegle56]

Alright so my new build is in the works. I am very confident of my choice of hardware even though some components may not be cost/performance effective. I assure you there are a lot of features and stability issues that I have tried to address. Although my biggest concern is weather everything will actually fit in my case and if there is enough ventilation to keep "my precious" (yea bad lord of the rings joke) cool. Most of my cases in the past have been cheap and I finally decided to splurge and get something decent but the case I want is only a mid tower and I don't see an awful lot of fans. I am willing to part with this decision but to be honest I think most cases even pricey ones look pretty tacky. Again my biggest concert is with the size of the motherboard It is an extended ATX motherboard which I would hope it has the same layout for mounting holes as a standard ATX board. Then I have a Corsair AX1200 PSU which might also be a problem as its pretty hefty and many people say EATX is a little bit longer maybe a centimeter. Pretty sure the PCI-E slots will alight correctly in the case hopefully there is enough room for both cards and my PCI express sound card however I would be willing to part with that. If you can think of any cabling issues or really anything else for that matter I would really appreciate anyone's input.

Micro ATX / ATX, So No

I think you are OK.
If you love the case, get it.

EATX motherboards have the same vertical dimensions as ATX, namely 12".
The E in Eatx extends the width from 9.6" to something larger, perhaps as large as 13".
The mounting pattern is exactly the same, you will have an extra 1" unsupported overhang which is not a problem.
In your case, the dimension is 10.5", only an inch longer. That is the same size as your GTX580's.
Looking at the photo's of the interior with graphics cards installed, it seems clear that the case will hold long graphics cards and it should hold your motherboard as well.

The case has a 200mm intake fan which should provide sufficient air to cool sli GTX580's.
The air moved by a single 200mm fan will be about the same as that of two 120mm fans.
The top 200mm fan is well located to exhaust the heated air.

I see no problem with any length of psu.
Your motherboard has plenty of slots, so a sound card is also no problem.

As a suggestion, look for GTX580's with direct exhaust cooling. That will eject the heat directly out the back of the case.
Some coolers with twin fans do a good job of getting heat off of the gpu die, but they let the hot air recirculate in the case adding heat to both the gpu and cpu.
Here is an example of a GTX580 with direct exhaust cooling:

I too think it might work - my Raven RV02 can fit E-ATX boards because the case is physically large enough to hold it, although the end screws won't be fastened.
