I'm fairly certain the 8800 Ultra will have to sit in the first slot unles you're ready for some modding. I wanted to showcase my GTX260 by sitting it in the third slot but the 3.5" bay that hangs vertically from the top hits the top corner of the card. I'm not quite sure how much length difference there is between the ultra and the GTX's but I'm fairly certain it'll be an issue. I had to cut off the bottom of that drive bay cage and zip tie my hard drive in it (because I removed the HDD cage) to keep it out of the way. I'll try to post pics sometime this week if I get a chance.
I just removed those small fans. The exhaust from the PSU is directly adjacent to them so I considered them pointless. If you still want to buy some, I get mine from Newegg, FrozenCPU, SVC, or [H]ere if there's any used ones to be had.
Not sure about the GO2. I have the Intel stock cooler in there now and I'm currently reasearching coolers that will fit. I have the DFI LP JR P45-T2RS so I have extra restrictions with the NB and MOSFET cooler assembly.
As far as the whole 90/92mm fan issue, I went thru that with Tt when i had my Tsunami case years ago and I believe their fans ARE nominal 90mm fans, but for some reason they list them as 90mm. Do some more homework on this to be sure but I'm 95% sure this is the case.
I picked up the XION PSU in my sig for this case mostly for looks! I like the blus rings around the modular connections and the cable sleeving is nice too. Plus, the connectors actually screw into the PSU so there's never a loose connection.
Hope this helps! Let me know what you decide to go with as far as the CPU cooler is conerned...

my gf has the GO2 in her case. i left the stock fans that came with the case.
it comes with 2 60mm, and then 1 in front. there is 1 room for an optional 60mm in the back if you want.
she has the same proc as you, but she used a 7800GTX and no heat problems.
other wise there is that mod you can do it have an extra 80mm on top next to the PSU.

Hi Raz1r,
I suggest the blue orb or max orb for your CPU. i currently have a blue orb and it works great. I suggest 3 x 60mm fans across the back like Vantec Stealth or SilentX 60 x 60 x 25. I put lexan over the side vents and am working on removing my hard drive cage and mounting 2 x 80mm fans up front with some minor ducting. My box stays cool even with the single slot 8800GT dumping heat in the box.

If you do not need to use the hard drive cage you can leave it out and your 8800Ultra can go in any slot. If you need to use the cage, you can do a simple mod by drilling a new hole in the bottom of the case for the cage's screw and just simply move the cage to one side. You can put a single hard drive up top.. so if you don't need more than one hard drive just leave the cage out.
I am using the stock cooler for my e8400 so the question of a cooler interests me as well.
I am pretty sure it's a 80mm fan up front. The case is designed pretty good and with your 8800Ultra dumping it's own heat out back, you shoulld be good. You can put your PSU in either direction..pulling in air from outside the case through the top or pulling in air from the bottom from within the case. I chose the latter and my case stays nice and cool. I am running a 8800GTS 320 so it dumps its heat out the back.
EDIT: I stand corrected, I opened my case up and held up a 80mm fan and that fin the Lanbox Lite is larger than 80mm. It measures 3 /58" which is:
(3 5/8) inches = 92.07500 millimeters

It takes both 90 and 92mm fans - it's the same size with two different labels. The included 60mm fans are fine. +1 on the Corsair 520. You may need to mod the 5.25 cage for the card to fit if it's the same length as an 8800GTX.
I don't recommend buying the Lanbox, though. It's huge. If you want SFF get something smaller. I wasn't able to sell mine here on [H] after switching to the Shuttle, so I prettymuch.. ended up giving it away. Or, rather, trading it for a case handle.

It's smaller than your normal case, but it sure is bigger than something like a Shuttle. I like mine alot, it's just what I wanted in a case and isn't this HUGE box on my desk. Some people love HUGE boxes on their desks, some like teeny tiny boxes like Shuttles (I do too, but couldn't afford one), the Lanbox is the perfect compromise in my own opinion.. it fits off the shelf parts and is well made/high qaulity and runs under $100.
About the 8800Ultra fitting... one of the case's selling points was the fact that it would fit a 8800 series card, but I can find nothing that specifically says that it will or will not fit. My 8800GTS 320 card fits easily with room to spare. How much larger is an Ultra compared to my card?

The Like I said before, the 8800 will definitely fit in the first slot but you may have problems with the lower slot if it's either of the bottom two slots. Here's a couples pics of my GTX260 in the second slot up from the bottom. The face of the card sits about 1/2" from the acrylic side panel which works out well because is showcases the GPU's graphical cooler (my original intent) and the fan inlet lines up with the side panel vents for better cooling. You'll see though that it extends into the vertically mounted 3.5" drive bay so the bottom of that backet was cut out and the hard drive had to be slid forward into the cases front panel. It sounds like a head ache but it's worth it when it's done.
My other pet peeve was the venting holes above the PSU cage. You'll probably want to get a $3 can of glossy black spray paint and paint the PSU cage black so the grey doesn't show thru the vent hole on the top.
I also threw in a pic of my desk so you could see how big the case is next to a 24" monitor. This was my first mATX and I couldn't be happier! It gives you room to work with and the entire case is glossy black (which is the only reason i bought it). Also, if you do a 7-volt mod on a molex extension cable and plug all three fans into it it helps quiet the down quite a bit.

Good idea. Something I am going to do sometime is make a opening for a 80mm fan to exhaust out the top.
Here is a picture of my Lanbox:

Here's another killer tip that really helped me out. My acrylic window seemed to be staticy and collected dusted faster than usual. So I grabbed my car wax (Kit carnuba wax), removed the acrylic, and waxed both sides of the window. Sounds wierd maybe, but it gave the window a beautifl shine and the dust isn't collecting at all anymore. I did it about 3 days ago and it still looks pristine! Usually by this time it would be dusting up again. Just another random idea if anyone cares...
That sounds like it would be good at preventing scratches, too. The tradeoff is any object that touches acrylic seems to scratch it... Even tissue paper!
I paid $300 for a legitimate copy of MS Office Ultimate 2007 and it turned out to be an illegal copy. MS wouldn't replace it, seller wouldn't accept a return and PayPal screwed me. F Microsoft.
What does that have to do with Lanbox Lite cases? Why should Microsoft replace your pirated copy of software with a new legit one? If they did that, we would all go download pirated copies and then get Microsoft to give us legit ones.
Instead of F Microsoft, maybe you should be a bit more smart when shopping and F the seller for scamming you. Microsoft had nothing to do with your purchasing of pirated software, literaly.
Here's a tip... don't buy software off Ebay.
