Well I can't find that case on Antec's website or Newegg. It may be some really old-ass model. ?? The parts inside may be 3-4 years old, but that case is from the dark ages.

Anyway, when it arrives, just get a measurement from the top of the CPU itself, to the inside of the left side panel.

Yeah it looks pretty old, the guy probably just reused it from a previous build or something. I might just get this case and move everything over

Do yourself a favor...get this.

Welp my pc just got here and the cpu cooler came loose somehow during shipping and is missing the pins that lock it into the motherboard so I can't even try it out FeelsBadMan

Guess I have to upgrade the cooler already

AW that's anyoing man.
Well listen to ghot's advice about coolers.

Yeah Im going to order that cooler master one, I was just so excited to try the pc out today but now I have to wait longer

Like I said....make sure the case is wide enough for the CPU cooler to fit.

The Hyper 212 EVO takes 6.3 inches minimum from the top of the CPU itself ,to the inside of the left panel of the case.

/e 7 inches is what I would look for. If you don't have that much room...look for the Cooler Master TX3 instead.

/ee Btw, all of those cases I recommended above, are wide enough for the Hyper 212 EVO.

It seems I have about a skyrim for xbox 360 length from the motherboard to the edge lol
I googled xbox 360 case dimensions and it says 7.5" but idk if I should just get the smaller one to be sure.
Also.. with these coolers will I have to unmount the motherboard to install it? Because I don't really wanna take it apart


p.s. dat cable management tho

Yeah get the TX3, I don';t think the Hyper 212 EVO will fit in there.
Like Rapture said... The TX3 is easier to install, no back plate required. The TX3 will just attach right to the existing motherboard cooler brackets.


/e ...and buy a damn ruler.
