Ok someone asked me about how the XP-120 fits on this board so I took some pictures.

The quality is low due to bad lighting and I was using the still image function on a digital video camera as opposed to a actual digital camera. Anyhow:

It does fit, but it is tight.
-One capacitor is brushed by a heatpipe.
-The heatsink overhangs the memory sockets.
-It also makes a tight fit for several cables.

That being said it does fit, and I was able to install it with relative ease.

heatpipes proximity to vid card

no fan, memory covered

tight fit for IDE, FDD, and power cables

holes drilled into fan so clips hold the fan in place

Awesome pics, Thank you for posting them. I think that firmed up for me that the Xp-120 is the way to go. It looks tight in there but it should work for what I am planning.
