I am torn between the NZXT Zero and the Antec P182 at the moment and I was thinking the NZXT, being a full tower would be the most likely to fit the 8800GTX without removing drive bays or at least without being unable to use all drive slots. Also I have already purchased a Zalman 9700 and plan to use a Corsair HX620 or a Seasonic M12 700Watt, does anyone forsee any space conflicts here?

The side fans may come close, but you may be able to move those to the outside of the door if they interfere. The 8800 might be tight - there are sites with lots of cases' compatibility with the 8800. There was a list or a thread with links here too. A quick google will find. You'd think there would be lists on the various card maker's sites too. Check the XClio Windtunnel, but the fans in it might starve the Zalman for air. A fan oriented like the 7000 series will work better with a case like the windtunel.

I will be purchasing this case sometime soon (prolly next time I get paid)

Anyway directly from here:
http://www.nzxt.com/products/zero/

"NVIDIA 8800GTX Compatible"

Edit:

This will answer your question and show pictures.

Edit Again:

Anyone know what language that forum is in? I want to eb able to read what the user i saying along with the images :S

~Nvm, it's Portuguese

Also, to me if any of the side panel fans are going to obstruct something it will be something like the tuniq or themalright 120 extreme

It is a very nice looking case and has tons of cooling...I like that it looks like the bottom 120MM exhaust fan seems to like up directly with the HSF....If this guy got a huge Tuniq 120 tower in his case I am pretty sure my Zalman 9700 should fit.

Man, that 8800GTX just fit by a hair. If the power connectors were oriented another way (so the power cables would plug in from the end rather than the top), it might not work.

Someone here -- could've been Quicksilver -- introduced me to the "Zero." Even if the exterior seems too "bling" for me, I really like the interior layout. Doing a ducting-mod for the mobo and CPU cooler should be really easy on this sucker, and I'd be eager to see how it performs.
