Video Card Help!

[Ebes1099]

I'm trying to find a Video Card to use in my new build. I have an OrigenAE S16T chassis and I would like to use all of the available HDD slots with it. I know that limits the length of my video card so I am looking for suggestions. I know the 6870 won't fit.

I haven't decided on a Motherboard yet, leaning towards the ASUS P9X79 Deluxe.

Can anyone make any suggestions? Thanks.

What are you doing about the TF screen in the case?

What are you doing about the TF screen in the case?

I'm planning on using it. I'm going to be dual booting Win 7 and OS X. I'm sure it will work in Win 7 just fine, haven't thought about it at all in the OS X environment yet. Will it not work in that? If not, not a huge deal.

I see that you have a HD 5770 in another machine. That's a reasonably small card.
I installed a Sapphire HD 5770 in a Lian Li PC-Q08 case on a Gigabyte H67N-USB3-B3 Mini-ITX with no real space issues.

I'm not sure if anyone is familiar with the inside of this case, but I found this 6870 Sapphire card that says it is 238mm long and the diagram I have of the inside of the case says there is 245mm clearance. I was hoping I could get some more solid confirmation it would fit before I bought it.

It says there's enough room, but I'm wondering if I'd run into an issue with the 6 pin PCI-E power cable.
