Anyone have fitment issues with 8800 boards?

[nasttcar]

I am assembling a system and have the P5b Deluxe Wifi MB and will be using a Tuniq Tower 120 CPU cooler. All of this is going into a Lian 60BlpusII case.

ZipZoomFly has a good price on the video board, XTX 8800 GTS for $289 and free shipping, which is $17 better than NewEgg. Only catch is that if the board does not fit ZipZoomFly will not give me my money back.

Therefore, looking for people with similar setups that can verify all this stuff fits.

TIA for the help.

i have a p180 that i just put in an eVga 8800 GTS without an issue. i have room to spare, and a hard drive in the middle hard drive cage.

those lian li's must have not been designed with any sort of future proofing in mind.

I think there are some issues with 8800GTX with some of the Asus nVidia intel chipsets

The problem isnt so much as the mobo but with the case itself. Often the problem is that the card is so long that it'll hit the back of a hard drive and/or the hard drive cage. You need 12 inches of space with the 8800GTX. If you go over to the Case & Cooling section of the forum you'll find a thread that lists all the known cases that a 8800GTX will fit inside of. Research your case carefully before getting a 8800GTX.
