Full tower or Mid tower??
I'm going to be building a pc and I'm wondering which size case i should get. I will most likely get a conroe E6600 and wondering if the 8800gtx will fit in a midtower case with a decent mobo and psu and be able to have easy access to upgrade in the future.

For such a large video card, I'd get a full tower case. It's possible that the card will fit in a mid-tower, but you'll certainly be working in tight spaces. I know from experience that Thermaltake mid-tower cases (the Tsunami Dream in particular) do not play nice with extra-long video cards due to the location of the hard drive bays.
