yep, But on my last few builds I used a pair of sata 7200rpm laptop hdds in Raid0 and they were quite a bit faster.

After doing some more intensive research, I can say with some authority: No, it will not.

As you see in this review of the 3870 X2, the card is 265 mm long.

As you see in case specifications of the Lian Li PC-V350B, the motherboard tray is only 260 mm long.

To make the card fit, you will likely need a Dremel, and that is not the sort of thing you want to do to new hardware...

Actually... it might.

The PC-V350 is a redesigned PC-V300. One of the features Lian Li addresses was uber cards. I know the case should fit a 8800GTX which is 10". The 3870X2 is a bit longer though.

If you look at the pic, there's a good 1.5" past the motherboard tray.

Second, you could definitely just cut a small hole in the right side and have a molex, IDE, and SATA cable poke out through the hole. You could definitely also bolt a handle on to the top, but if you want a handle, you should honestly consider the ThermalTake LanBOX.
I looked at the Thermaltake and it's a little pricey for what I intend to do with it. Of course, I probably should get something as sturdy as possible due to the fact that it will be getting bounced around in my car all the time.

Thanks for the info and good luck.

Excellent rig. This is another fine example of why this thread needs it's own sticky! It would be the first one in the "Computer Cases" thread.
