Easiest way to check it the HD-suspension, is it just like a black rubber-band or more like black flat strips - more like shoelaces?

How can I tell what revision I have?

I'll be up your way this weekend... should I bring my sawzall along to help with that fitment issue? MWUHAHAHAHA

Shoelaces

Okay. You have the new revision, so do I. I thought that I could maybe compare lenghts to see if it were some difference between the two versions. I have read several other threads now that confirm that no 8800GTX will fit in a solo/p150 case.

Be sure to post pictures of you mod when you are done.

Oh my mod is getting a new case... Had this one going on a year and want something a bit bigger... I went from water cooling to air cooling, but I think i'm going back to water cooling ;)

Ohh, thought you were going to cut room for it. I can recommend big brother P180B, or maybe even hold out for the new versions of it, p182, p190 or whattheyarecalled. It's more quiet and very big. In comparison it's maybe an hour or two more work when building but the result is worth it, that is if you need the room.

And don't go back to watercooling, it's the easy way out, for me it's like cheating. B)

And what will happen when these cards grow even bigger to the full 12" ATX form factor size ?!?!?

At one time I liked small cases, back in the P-II era. Now, I'm at a full XClio tower case.

Those 8800's at 10.5 inches in length are amazing in size. But I don't think it will stop there.
