Which case

[capital_one]

HAF 922 or CM 690 II Advanced

what are the major advantage differences between the two when creating a 3-way sli config

please help !!!!

 

[capital_one]

HAHHAHA .. sry its just funny

basically it is a thing that blows air out, instead of suck it in (plz dont take that in the wrong way)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_duster

help at all?

basically its air pressurized... kind of like a can of deo spray.
so yes, it is kind of a vacuum cleaner in reverse

you can also use a vacuum just be more careful, and dont let the metal nozzle touch any of the components... try putting electrical tape on the nozzle... and dont suck in any cables

oh that,

no we don't get that in India,

it more looks like our typical deodorant spray minus the nozzle

the only thing which can protect us from dust is to sit inside air-conditioned cabins

but then we have extreme temperatures 44 C in summers and 5 C in winters


so your final suggestion is HAF 922 , is that correct

 

[N.Broekhuijsen]

very correct!

 

[capital_one]

very correct!

great

but before i select your answer as the best answer tell me one final thing

will HAF 922 accomodate three 9600gt's easily ? i mean length wise

 

[N.Broekhuijsen]

uhm, if that is the card size you have i would assume so. its about as long as a motherboard is wide.

plus it's a gaming case, so i would assume that it would only fit the biggest of cards.

as per the cooler master global website HAF 922 has a approx card length space of about 300 mm

and the zotac website gives the dimensions of 9600gt as 13.26“ X 10.23“ X 2.67“


and 300mm is approx 11.7 " (inches)

that wouldn't fit

now what do i do 🙁

i don't see that card fitting at all and its an entry level card

do you agree

am i reading the card dimensions right

cant be right. the card cannot possibly be 13 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 2.5 inches thick.

i think those are the dimentions of the box it comes in. makes a lot more sense..

looking at those pics of the case im pretty sure the card would fit easily!

the card shows as either 9 inches or 7.8

It fits!

ya you are right

i just saw the pdf of that card on Zotac website and i was so surprised to read

Dimensions
• Height: 4.376in - 111.15mm
• Width: 10.5in - 266.7mm

bingo !!!

[N.Broekhuijsen]
