Isn't your heat sink blowing the wrong way? I thought it was supposed to blow towards the back of the case?

Probably wouldnt matter.

If the PSU has a fan in the bottom, it'll suck the hot air in and blow it out the back of the case anyway.

The fan is the right way round. Its blowing air up to the top of the case. The newer freezer pro ( which ive purchased but not got round to fitting ) blow out towards the rear of the case

The 7900 looks smaller.

Aye if you can fit an X1900 you shouldn't have any problems with a 7900 GTX

Just adding a second opinion, it will fit in there, you may have to do some squeezing to fit the cable in though.

Well its in, its actually shorter than the x1900xtx

Fancied a change, plus now i can go SLI with another one in the future.

Out of interest, what about Scythe ninjas in these cases, do they fit?
