Question About the 8800's for my new build

I hear the 8800's will be a pretty big cards. And Since I've just found out there is a recall on the 8800GTX's im gonna go with the 8800GTS and was wondering if it would fit in this case?

And I've also purchased this Mobo already

and was just wondering if its good enough or should i send back and get an asus or Gigabyte?

I apologize.. tigerdirect took the case w/o the power supply off the site which is the one I bought because Power Supply is only 450W. But here is the Case.

I don't see any problem with putting an 8800 in that case. They are going to make the vid cards compatible with as many systems as possible.

The length of the card is what will pose any possible problems. The card will be the same height as all other gfx cards.

As long as the case has a good, open interior, it ought to fit.

EDIT: I just looked on down at the pix for it. You may want to measure to make sure. The card will have to fit under the hard drive cage... but the cooling unit is under there. There may be enough clearance, but the pix have no measurements on them.

That is a really interesting case....

too bad it comes with a power supply

lol - must be nice to have SMOD abilities... it's ok elbatrop, i got your back.

anyway.. back on topic...

They are recalling a batch of cards due to a BOM error - wrong resistor value. - So yeah. I answered my own question.
