Coolermaster atcs 840 & antec 1200

I transfered my computer components from a antec 1200 case to a much larger coolermaster atcs 840. both cases were purchased for around 100 new/refurb. the ATCS case was purchased on the cmstore refurbished by coolermaster for 110 shipped when they had it in stock. This is a bargain for the case considering its all aluminum, is really large to accommodating even e-atx boards.

The reason for chaning cases is that the 3x gtx 480 cards i had previously in the antec 1200 made it tight for room to move some cables around when i was cleaning the case. Also the antec lacks what the atcs does not is in the mb tray cutout that provides easy access to the cooler retention plate. A plus is the removable tray that allows for easy access.

I love the extra space and i feel like it has potential for any build i throw at it in the future.

Here are my specs for those interested

Hi, do you think i could get away with putting an V10 with 2x ATI 4870 x2 HD cards into an Antec 900 or 1200 ? not to sure if it would fit in and how i would go about with keeping the heat down on the 2 Cards ?

@MadStylezuk

the v10 fits int he 1200. the side fan should be enough to cool your cards.
