got my gtx and it does not fin in the microfly without cutting the metal due to pcie connectors, so maybe i am not doing something right or i just need new case...any ideas or possibly matx case suggestion, if there is one...ty

Only a couple or three SFF cases will hold a 8800GTX without modding. If I remember correctly the Microfly isnt one of them. The Qmicra, and SG03 does. There's one other I believe but cant remember its name. If you want to see how best to do it go over to the HF and look in their SFF section and you'll find info and pics there.

I think the only way you can get the 8800GTX card in the Tt Lanbox is if you remove the hard drive cage. You would need to research that though first. Same goes for the SG01. IMO if you want a GTX card to fit without modding then your best bet is the SG03. Its tower like but a small tower and I've heard it'll even hold two 8800GTX cards in SLI if you find a matx mobo that'll allow it. Your other two choices is a modded box or pony up the big bucks for the Qmicra. There is a third option and that is just go with a 8800GTS and then you can pretty much pick any SFF box to run it in.

The nice thing about the SG03 is that it'll hold two front 120mm fans and it's designed to use the NT06 Lite hsf. Which is really nice from what I hear. It'll also hold a atx psu which is always a plus in today's needs for powering OCing and big video cards. So if you dont want to mod and need to watch your $$ then I would suggest the SG03.
