Can confirm great case, just gotta do a bit of measuring to make sure everything fits correctly

 

A lot of the popular GTX 970's have issues with height of the card pushing against the side window D:

I doubt the g1 gaming would, it's a relatively short card, the only thing to worry about with it is it being too long lol

 

If I were to do a lan build or something, the air 240 would definitely be in my top 5 choices for a case.

Short and long are an oxymoron...

 

Oh, and it is a long card :P

Yep I have a G1 Gaming in my Air 240, its long but its height is perfect. (MSI and ASUS are the major tall ones)

 

I think it would be a good lanbox [but] Ive been moving mine around A LOT lately and am considering getting something a bit more portable for the time being like a laptop, but this is just because ive had to take it to work lots lately and is getting frustrating haha. Like 5 days a week for like 3 weeks just was too much effort haha.

 Not necessarily, it can be long in length and short in height ;)

I think KDub should've mentioned that he thought it was short in height.

But he was quoting my post which already made the reference :P

As said before, the only reference to you talking about height was the quote, which I did not notice :)
