Would an XFX 8800 GS fit in a Microfly case

I am thinking of getting the XFX 8800 GS but it seems like there is a small heatsink on the top side of the card. I just want to make sure that it would still fit in a Microfly case (I have the SX6) without hitting the PSU. There is some clearance in the case but I am not sure if it's enough.

This is the card that I want to get: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150294

This is another XFX 8800 GS that seems identical to the one above (only costs $10 more), and this one has more pics that show what I am talking about: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150275

Thanx for the help
 
It should fit, but I wouldn't get the 8800GS. You're better off spending $10-20 more and getting a much better card. I've got a 9600GT Extreme in my microfly with a Zalman VF900 on it. It does really well and runs cool. I think the 9600GT is about the best card for that price range. The 8800GS isn't worth it.
 
Yup I posted as I was still making my final decission. The 9600GT is indeed better and doesn't cost too much more, plus it seems it consumes less power per performance, which is good plus for a SFF.

On top of that the XFX 8800GS doesn't seem to have a variable fan, according to customer reviews, so not really a good thing to have the fan blasting at 100% all the time with the case less than a meter away from me on the other side of my desk.

Thanx for your responses
