Nope. You will need the Lian-Li chassis.

Does this chassis have good cooling compared to the HAF 932?

Mr GMC (Blackdog)

Check out EVGA website they had a special early dec. with four 285's (classifieds)...looked very cool. (Not sure if they had 4 way though)

Definitley couldn't see much of the board....

you would have to figure out a way to modify the case/board like dst did. and why do you ened a 4x? 3d video editing/ folding? to me seems like a waste of your moms money (not a insult read on other topic where the funds are coming from). spend the extra $100 on something that will be useful for to you.
