I am looking at this case for my next build. What I want to know is if I could fit a GTX 260 inside.

I looked at some pictures but they weren't much help.

Could someone please post a pic of the inside their lanbox?
 
I found a link that shows a 8800gtx ultra inside the Lanbox considering that they are essentially the same in length:

It is a given that a card at this length you have to move the drive cage for it to fit. Also if your motherboard has a PCIX-16 slot that is in the 2nd slot (like the Abit F190HD that is pictured in the link), then the video card may touch the 3.5 bracket... but since the stock cooler on the GTX 260 is a bit narrower on the fan side of the card, then you may be able to fit it in without modding.
 
Drive cage needs to be entirely removed.

lowteckh is correct. If you remove the 3.5 drive bay you can fit a 260 in it. This leaves you with only one 3.5 bay though. You get one 5.25 and one 7 that can be switched to a 5.25 so if you only had one optical drive you could get a 3.5 to 5.25 adapter and still have room for a floppy and a HD or 2 HDs even with the bay removed.

also note to lowteckh: how did you fit that heatsink and still have clearance for the PSU?

edit: forgot to mention for the long card to fit your motherboard must have the x16 slot first.
 
No, that was a just a pic before I swapped everything out into a Qmicra. Lanbox is in storage now
