Will I fit a TX3 Evo in my case?

I've got a rather crummy ATX case, an Akasa Genesis:

I should probably replace it with a better case, but I have a sentimental attachment to this one that I can't really explain. *shrug*

Anyway- anyone know if I will be able to fit a TX3 Evo in there? It's a lot smaller than most ATX cases (only 18.5cm wide), but it's not got a lot of room behind the motherboard tray, so... I dunno. Any help would be appreciated 🙂

The height of the TX3 I see at Newegg is 139mm. Get a ruler and measure the distance from the motherboard pan to the edge of left-side-panel chassis, or the point where a cooler could come in contact with the removable panel. Subtract about 3/8" or ~ 8mm to account for the motherboard standoffs and the motherboard (unless your standoffs are greater. Or you could simply measure the distance from the pan to the top side of the processor latch, and subtract that from the distance from mobo-pan to chassis-edge.

It's going to be close for the total width of 18.5cm, but I give it an even chance.
 
Well I measured it, and it looks like it should fit... here's hoping it does, I just bought it off Amazon 😀
