Has anyone managed to fit an NF7-S with an alpha pal 8045 in this case considering there is very little room between the edge of the motherboard and the support bar and the heatsink slightly overhangs the motherboard by about 2-3mm ?
This is a Cheiftex Matrix MA-01SLD http://www.chieftec.com/products/Matrix/ma01wd.htm (Silver Version)
 
Looking from the pix of that case it looks like you can fit anything in it......it looks kinda small on the pix you posted but once it's infront of you...you'd be suprised how much space it has inside.........
 
Looking more closely at the picture (below) it looks like it will just fit as the alpha overhangs to the top of the nf7-s i/o sheild (about 2-3mm) which doesn't have that flange on it that the cheiftec one does and there is still another 2-4mm gap above that by the looks of it where the flange would be.

It was just that the review mentioned that oversize hsfs such as a alpha may not fit that made me worry.
