Few Questions on cases

[gregson66]

1. Im looking to buy a new case for my pc. The original one i had when i upgraded to my HD7970 didnt have enough room to fit that card in. So when buying a new one i took a tape measure into the shop with me and physically measured. but with it being a standard shop case it isnt that great, i dont care about looks but id like a little better circulation. So if i was to be looking online for a case, what detail would i be looking for to tell me that the case would fit my card?

2. The way im set up i need my pc with its left side to the wall. So the case i have atm take air in from the front and puts it out the back. Do all cases have vents on their left side or can you get cases that are the other way or would work either way. Theres probably some obvious reason you cant mount the mobo on the left and im looking really silly for asking but i cant see it.

3. Also on a side note does anyone know if the Titan is any bigger than the HD7970?

Cases usually say "can fit ***mm long cards" in their description. At least all the cards I looked at had that kind of description.

One thing I realised when I built my pc was that even if it says there is duch and such amount of space, you may run into the problem that your HDDs and their connectors stick out and take some space requiring you to move things around a little.
