hey lawn,

the mobo is a micro, i believe you have two gigantic video cards and a sound card.  they wont fit.  if you dont have a sound card, you wont be able to get a new one.  I personally will wait till they fix the sandy bridge mess to upgrade, it looks like once they fix it  :rofl, it will be sweet.  also, there's that 3.0/6.0 sata debate thingy.

Just 2 vid cards and they should fit, and is sli capable. I do believe the processor is not a sandy bridge at least it is not on teh defective list. Also I dont care about the sata 3.0 vs 6.0 debate right now. I gots what Igots and I am happy with it...but thanks for the information.. you made me doubt my picks there..
