We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

Multiply the three together. As the lengths are in inches, divide the result by 1728. The answer is cubic feet.
If you're wondering, 1728 in the amount of cubic inches in one cubic foot (12^3).
13" * 17" * 12-3/4"
13 * 17 * (12 + (3 / 4))
13 * 17 * 12.75 = 2817.75 cubic inches / 1728 = 1.63 cubic feet
You can also convert the inches into feet before the calculation. In this case, don't divide by 1728 as the cubic measure is already in feet.
(13/12) * (17/12) * (12.75/12)
1.0833 * 1.4167 * 1.0625 = 1.63 cubic feet
