Rebuilding into a Shuttle Case

I am thinking about rebuilding my PC into the following case.

I will be removing the mobo and using it for another pc, and installing my exisiting mobo - Asus p5B delux.

My question is will my graphics card fit into the case, as it takes up two slots for the DVI connectors and the fan bay.

Also will the 400W PSU be enough to power my GPU -

Can't help with your initial questions, it only made me come up with two more:

1. Are you sure you want to install this into such a small case? A lot of people recommend against it due to limited space/cooling. If it were just an office PC, I'd risk it, but if you want to put that 7900 in there, I'd worry about the mb/cpu temps getting too high. Just my 2 cents.

2. The link for the barebones kit lists the Shuttle mb as a proprietary one and I couldn't find any reference to the layout (atx, matx, etc). You might want to call them and make sure it will take your new board.
 

lovely?

although it will be tight, it will fit. 400W? no, dont do it, unless its made by antec or ocz or corsair. if you have to go with an offbrand, get a 500W. other than that, make sure you use every fan port that is available, or else, as RayH said, it will overheat.

alltogether, those cases are good, i like them
