does G80 video card fit inside the Qpack or Microfly case. I heard it is longer than today cards.
 
We originally reported the GeForce 8800GTX and 8800GTS are 9" in length. The reference design for the 8800GTX is actually a little less than 11 inches. The GTX has two 6-pin power adaptors, the GTS has only one.
 
Heh, I never thought you would find those! :D It will fit in the MicroFly or JPac. The X-Qpack will be a no go.

The 8800GTX will not fit in the Micro Fly without mods as the two PCI-E power connectors can not be connected without interference from the lower 5 1/2 bay.

By cutting away a small section of the lower 5 1/2 bay with a dremel it will fit - I'll post pics of the process as I will probably modify mine. (By eyeballing the dimensions, it looks like it will be a problem, for the QMICRA as well.)

Length wise the qpack has more then enough room inside to fit the card. But like the Microfly/jpac you might need to cut into the 5 1/4 drive bays to plug it in.
 
You could fit a up to 12" long videocard into a QPack and even have no problems with the PCIE powerconnector . If not due to reasons of the mobolayout i dont see why it shouldnt fit . :D
