Case for my build - 6 hard drive case?
#1
Hi Guys, I have made the decision to build a HTPC

And I wanted to go with the mini ITX build with the i3 processor;

but with the GT430, and a 60gb SSD

So I have ordered everything, except for case and PSU
My question is!

The case I wanted to use was this one;
Fractal Design ARRAY R2 MINI ITX NAS CASE

But I', not sure the GPU will fit, I think it won't, as acording to this;

The GPU is 6.65" in length (169mm) and the case will only take a 140mm expansion card?

Is this correct? I really wanted a case that could hold somewhere in the region of 6 hard drives or more!
But there doesn’t seem to be many about
