.... i've already had an Antec P180 (yes.... WITHOUT the holes cut) and tried wiring it with an Ultra X2-Connect PSU and SLI'd 7900GT's. that wasn't a picnic either. lol
And i just noticed yet ANOTHER fatal flaw. Tried running that 8-pin motherboard wire a different way..... behind the bar around where you see the front panel connection wires coming down through. It fit nicely.... but the extension i had wasn't long enough to reach the socket on the motherboard then. Not only that.... but that other metal bit that kinda sticks out, the flat bit just to the right of the vertical wiring holes.... the very top part of that, above where the metal bar goes across... ALSO is a direct metal-to-metal contact with the side panel. So it basically has that ENTIRE wiring hole at the top sectioned off, only letting very, VERY small wires through, or requiring one to run them between that bar and the mobo tray itself.
and now i kinda want the backplate that eVGA has. looks kinda neat too, and would finish the look. found it kinda odd that they have the nice cover over the one card where they have the logo and such, and a bare PCB on the other side.

Oh... and in case you're wondering, my GTX 295 isn't the regular GTX 295. It's the one that was ORIGINALLY seen on Newegg.... the eVGA GTX 295+, which has a mild overclock compared to the vanilla version. Taken from Fudzilla:
EVGA GTX 295+ runs at 594MHz, which is an overlock of only 18MHz or 3%, but our tests show that any overclocking on these cards will add to the performance. Shaders are overclocked by 54MHz and the memory by 27MHz compared to the reference GTX 295.
The only real way to tell whether it'a 295+ or a regular 295 is by looking at the part number.
GTX 295 = 017-P3-1291-AR
GTX 295+ = 017-P3-1292-AR
Kinda funny.... cause it's no longer on Newegg, and not even on eVGA's website anymore. And it was $509 when i bought it on Newegg think they day they were available.
