In anandtech's review of the EPoX nForce4 Ultra Motherboard, they did note that the IDE Cable Connection is in the way of a longer video card. I am getting the 7800 GTX, so it's quite long. Should I not go with the EPoX?

I didn't have a problem with my 6800 Ultra and it was very long. I don't see it being much of a problem as long as you don't have those really short cables.

Not going with a board for simple cabling issues is not very smart :D. Part of the fun when building your computer is how to get around these issues. Creativity baby!
