Shuttle SB95P. Looks like it'll take a dual slot video card?

Gidday lads.

From looking at pictures and diagrams of the motherboard in the Shuttle SB95P it looks like she'll hold a dual slot cooler graphics card no problem if you're willing to give up the use of the 1x PCI-E slot.

The Shuttle technical support section isnt working and they supply no email address for me to ask them if its true that the 95P does indeed have space for a dual slot graphics card so I thought i'd ask here.

The HardOCP review of the SB95P said they got a 6800 Ultra to fit in it, which is a dual slot graphics card I believe, but i'm hardly going to rely on a single source for my information as this is such an expensive purchase :P

Anyone know for sure?

Don't comment if you don't actually know

Cheers lads
Chris

Yes, its dual slot.

Search, there are HEAPS of previews/reviews on this, most eagerly awaited xpc IMo for a while. A flop to be in my mind, as you'll see from reading the reviews, with OC difficulties, noise and also lack of power for high end.

Also, they never even made it the ULTRA board, i mean, its not like its that much to put in for a $700 barebones.

Everything I have read suggests that it is the quietest of all the new shuttles.
