hehe, yes most likely its a gimmick and its a little early to say ZOMG its a e-atx case and its Fermi certified, its going to be huge... and hot, look at that massive side intake and lots of big extraction fans.
Have to say I'd be very surprised if a higher memory bus, higher power draw and large core with more memory Fermi was on a smaller or same sized card as a 5870.
But who cares, why anyone buys small cases is beyond me, the biggest difference between a small and big case is how much extra space you have between the top of the case and the bottom of your desk. A decent sized desk can take a mammoth sized case under it and if you stuck a small one under there, you'd not really have any useable extra space. Bigger case generally lets you build a quieter and better cooled rig.
