Will the SuperLANboy fit my new PC?

I am looking to get the following components:

A64 3200+ (Winchester)
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
6600GT x 2
OCZ Mod Stream 520W PSU
Thermalright CNPS-7700-Cu

My question is whether the lanboy can accommodate my system? I really like the case, but just want to make sure everything fits before take the plunge.

Thanks!
 
Thermalright CNPS-7700-Cu? zalman perhaps? not sure if that'll fit. my 7000b is a tight fit. there's probably 1/2" from it to the psu. otherwise tho, i'd imagine you'll be fine.
 
It'll fit in the case no problem. I'd suggest that you just get a single Geforce 6800 or 6800GT though. That way you'll be able to get another off eBay in a year and seriously increase your performance for very little money. The 6800GT performs about the same as SLIed 6600GTs in the comparisons I've seen plus you have an big and cheap upgrade available in a year or two even if the initial investment is higher.
 
The 6800 GT sure does. As I said, it is more expensive up front. If you cannot spend more than $300 at this time the 6600GTs are not such a bad way to go. But, to increase the performance of the 6600GTs by 50-75% you'll have to spend probably aother $300 in the future whereas you'll almost certainly be able to find another 6800GT for less than $200 in a year's time. Also, you could get a next generation Nvidia card that supports SLI and get even more performance. It all depends on whether or not you have ~$400 to spend on your video card right now.

I am looking to get this system together rather soon, so hopefully PCIe versions of the 6800GT will start appearing at semi-normal prices sometime soon! Anyway, thanks for the suggestions guys, I think I am going to go with the Cooler Master Centurion 5, looks like an awesome case!
