315MM Max Length on Video Card. 3070 is typically below (not all) but some 3080 and all 3090's are beyond that size. AMD 6000 series are shorter than that length I believe.

Really good case. A pleasure to build in, great airflow and minimal dust

Here is a reddit post listing lengths (and widths) of various 3080s (as said previously, some are longer than 315mm): https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/c..._for_most/

The foam padding in the front mesh did a good job blocking dust but I saw good improvement of cpu temperature and reduced fan noise after I removed the foam.

Wouldn't be surprised if these cases were being moved out because fractal was coming out with an updated version with USB-C

I ordered a couple of these for two new builds I am putting together for photo and video editing purposes. I like this case because it isn't much bigger than some MATX cases. I think it is about the same height as my old Antec P series MATX case I got about 15 years ago.

315MM max length for gpu is with the current case fan. You can swap out the case fan with a slim one and get an additional 10mm of space.

Unfortunately max GPU length is just barely enough for the more expensive 3080 cards, 315mm, move stock fan or use a slim fan to solve issue.
I have an older Fractal C, same dimensions, I had to buy a bigger mid tower case for future gpu cards since we seem to be making giganto cards nowadays.

If you don't plan on getting more expensive gpu cards(>$800), then it should be great for budget builds. As the pricier cards really stretch the max gpu limit. Everything else about it is great as a budget case.

Do not miss old school drives at all. I'll just get a USB drive if I ever need one but I doubt it since everything is digital now. Have this case for 1 year. Can barely tell it's on, unless some game challenges it with optimization. I've played graphics intense games and the only one to challenge it so far is Blaire Witch.

I've done a lot of research on the smallest full-size ATX cases that are available, and this is among the Top 5 of the list (excluding any rare/highly expensive/junk cases).
