    Good Lord. It's ridiculous, but no more so than the Ferrari ones that were around a couple of years ago, or even the Isotope ones from Scan. Whatever floats your boat really, but I wouldn't want it in any room where people might see it!!

    Good point.

    I just used that case as a basis. Price range etc. Otherwise people would just be suggesting 90 pound cases, right? Plus, it helps others who are looking at this model. Get and give as much info as possable.

    Got a screenie of that Xclio-II case. Its got an Nvidia 7900 in it.



    Is the 8800 roughly the same size as the 7900???


    You can see dust build up from that main fan. But maybe that can be reduced by placing an outward 120mm fan on the rear.

    The 8800GTS is actually the same size as the 7900s. I think approx 9inches.

    The 8800GTX though, is 10.5 inches.

    There are plenty of cases that will fit a GTX, but there are also cases where you can just remove one of the hard drive bays and then it fits. Some people even use a pair of pliers to bend the metal on the hard drive cage and then the card fits. And some people use a saw the cut the metal away. All that is easy to do and is no problem if you can just put your hard drive(s) in the other slots.
