is it card to fit in the case S340 or phantom 240

Yes. It will fit in the S340 out of the box, the Phantom 240 may require removing the upper HDD cage.

Yes. It will fit in the S340 out of the box, the Phantom 240 may require removing the upper HDD cage.

[Darkman]

Yes. It will fit in the S340 out of the box, the Phantom 240 may require removing the upper HDD cage.

^ This... The S340 has plenty of room... By that you can fit a 15" card with front fans installed...
