Case size

[baloonis]

Hello, I am new to PC building, so excuse my newbie question.

 

I have a Thermaltake PC case at my home, but since I have lost all documentation, I have no immediate means of determining it's size. The reason I want to know it's size is to know if a Gigabyte G1 gaming gtx 970 will fit inside.

 

So, my quesiton is, how do I determine my case's size? Do I have to actually measure it's dimensions and then refer to some online standards?

 

Thanks a lot for any input.

You can use PCPartpicker.com and it should be pretty close on compatibility. Or just look up the case and see what size of cards it supports, then the size of the card.

have you checked thermaltake's website and seen if you can find your case?

If you don't you should measure the inner dimentions and compare your findings with other cases.

If you have the exact model, google.

 

Otherwise, you'll have to use a tape measure

If it is a current model you might be able to find it on the Thermaltake website by just scrolling through the catalog. But if not, you would, I guess, have to take a tape measure (or something similar) and find the dimensions. You would really only need to check length, because most cases are fine with any width and height but small cases might be different. Good Luck!

Good idea. I'll try to post it when I am off work.
