I have a 8800GTX in a TJ07 there is no space problem at all. Just had to get longer MB power cables extenders which i needed to do anyway to route them around the back of the MB. If I get a chance I will take a photo.

Thanks for the reply....

What your 8800gtx temps like in the TJ07 ???
 
Not great 60c on idle and that is with a blower imediately under the card. 72/74c when in use. Its ok. I have not got my case sited in the best of places and so it suffers from poor air flow.

I am planning to water cool it.
 
8800 GTX and the V1000.

I think this is what you want, heh.

Well I originally bought it because of the very good HD cooling compared to other cases (I wanted to run 4x 15k SCSI drives and 2 SATA), and plenty of space for SLI (I had a Lian Li PC-67B before with two 7800GTX's in SLI and it was very cramped with 4 HD's).

Combination of -
* The weight of it casing my arms to lengthen (I sure of it...) after 4-5 months of lugging it round to my mates every other weekend for a gaming session.
* Lack of space between the connector side of the HD bays and the side panel - fine for SATA disks, but a hassle for the SCSI disks I have... I orignally wanted to use SCA80 drives with adaptors but that would have been out of the question given the lack of space there.

After buying the last pair of SCSI disks and having my temper tested by the combination of the case and the fact that the PSU I bought doesnt have enough 4-pin molex connectors (and the SATA->molex adaptors don't fit because of said space-issues), I resigned to the decision to sell it on.

I love the TJ07B, would make an awesome watercooling case I'm sure, but doesn't suit my requirements very well.

I've ordered a Lian Li A16 now, with an extra drive bay (for 6 HD's total). A bit smaller - almost as good HD cooling, but with no space restrictions for that fiddly SCSI stuff, and I found the air filters in my last Lian Li rather effective.

edit: oh, I forgot that annoying reset button, too :p

Give us some photos of the A16 when you get it... I couldn't wait for it and got the V1000+II instead. I'd also be interested in one of those 1slot perforated bezels if you have one free after your build ;-)
