Will It Fit

I have perhaps the most un-techy tech question ever. I'm building a new PC, and I want something powerful, but portable, since I go to weekly gaming events at my school. The short version is:

Will this:

Fit in this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856101058

Plain and simple. I've look around the internet, but I've found varying results. It's not on their supported list, but I read that people crammed 10.5" cards into that case, in which case it would fit. If it won't fit, could somebody suggest a similarly powerful card that will?

    i just browsed the reviews and these few things were mentioned. It sounds like it will be tight but it'll fit.

    "Double width Geforce 8800 GTS was difficult to squeeze into the case for installation, once in place though no problem."

    "I expected close quarters when installing components. That said, you need to be EXTRA CAREFUL when installing any expansion cards. It would be quite easy to damage the surface mount electronics of the motherboard if you don't install the cards with great care."

    It's also going to block the second expansion slot, so don't plan on installing another card in there.

    edit: Nevermind, misread the part number.
