Hi,
This my first post on the EVGA forums!
I'm still waiting for my Hadron Air case, but I would like to prepare documentation for the modifications already. Is there any 3d model of the case availiable?
Or maybe someone could measure the front panel dimensions: width, height, radius of the corners, dimensions and position of the power button. Many thanks for help!

Click on the "Details" tab and it shows dimensions.

wil1972Hi,
For dimensions on the Hadron Air I was looking for the maximum height for the GFX card for the side panel to close. Looking at a new GTX 970 and getting the Hadron Air but need to know what flavour of GFX card to get based on the hight limitations of the case. A lot of the GTX 970 cards have larger fans / cooling so dont conform to the standard full sized card height - i.e the MSI GTX 970 is 269mm x 141mm x 35mm where as the EVGA version is 111mm high. 
 
In addition, is the card width strictly 2 slot or is there some flexibility there?

 
Measuring from the PCB to the side panel there's 1.3" of space, a little less if you count the PCIe power connectors. That shouldn't be a problem for any GPU. 


Measuring from the top of the GPU PCB to the PSU I got exactly two inches (50mm), so while a two-slot cooler should fit it will have obstructed airflow. GPUs in SLI have even less airflow room though for whatever its worth. My only concern is the case doesn't have air intakes and relies on the exhaust fans to draw air in, the system will get toasty with a 2-slot air cooled GPU instead of a reference GPU-blower style cooler.

Thanks for the info. I purchased the Hadron Air last week and it is a very smart looking case. I have only put my workstation in it at the moment (Intel S1200KP / E3-1275 / 16GB ECC) to test it as struggling to get a Z77 itx board here in the uk for my i5-2500k.
