The mobo should fit fine, it's just a normal sized atx board.

...Really???...Why would they put ( Extended ATX Mobo )???...Dimensions On the Mobo 12.8" x 9.6" & on the SSFT02 Maximun MoBo is (maximum 12” x 11”) ???...Now being that the Mobo is goin to be 90 degree could it fit that .8'':confused:
 
I think it may fit. Looking at the pictures of the case with ATX motherboards installed there is "maybe" 3/4 to 1 inch of clearance between the motherboard and the hard drive cage. If you remove the HDD cage it will fit with no clearance issues.
 
It's only .8" taller than ATX spec which is just over 3/4", it'll be fine.
The HD cage is not removable in the FT02 as far as I can tell (short of drilling out the rivets), it should fit fine though. There's a gap on the bottom of the motherboard between that side and the HD area of about 1" to slightly more for cable feeding and whatnot. You can see the gap in my shot...

Do a test fit. You should be able to line up the board with the screw holes and tell whether or not it'll fit pretty easily without having to open any of the accessories, and you should be able to return it real easily if it doesn't fit. I think it will fit ok though.

Officially there's no support for EATX on a FT02, but you should be able to nudge it in according to that pic.

Bright side is newegg probably wont charge you the 15% if you exchange for an 890FXA-GD70/Crosshair IV.

....Might just open it & find out!...Dont like that Red & Black look zero2dash whut Gigabyte Mobo you have?
 
Well, it's takes up 8 pci slots and your case only has 7. The top looks like that last slot might not fit in w/ the dvd drive. If you don't want to risk it, just exchange it for a UD5, it's the same board minus the extra PCI-E slot and the fancy NB cooling.
