Should you not really have checked before you bought it? Would be a bit of a waste of money if you haven't...

Well according to: http://www.tosk.co.uk/8800/

It won't fit.

I have a 8800GTS in a soprano. It fits with just over an inch to spare. That'll take it directly up to the drive cage. A lot will be depending on your HDD setup.

Isn't the GTX bigger than the GTS though?

Wont fit the standard TT cases, hits HDD cages/HDD's, I had to mod cage and it can hold max of 2 HDD's now which is fine by me.

I modded the case slightly and all is fine. Overclocked my CPU to 3GHz at stock volts!, ran prime for 24 hours stable on torture test! Loving my new rig! One of the cores maxed out at 58oC full load rest were at 50oC CPU mean temp was at 44oC (Everest Ultimate) motherboard sitting at 45oC.
