Was looking at this board and thought hmmmm...wonder if it would fit in my Antec 300? According to Antec it's a big no, but my trusty tape measure says different. Was wondering if anyone else has been able to fit an EATX into a mid-tower that says it doesn't support them? Unfortunately I have to keep the 300 due to space limitations but have no issues taking the dremel tool to it if need be to accomodate another board :D plus if it does work out I will have the MSI P67A-GD65 up for sale ;)

Well to those who may have wondered, the tape measure was right.....it fit's perfectly in the Antec 300, if your 5.25 drives aren't huge. I have about 1/8" between the LED on the board and end of dvd drive. Man these boards have plenty of options in bios, now it's just seeing what works best. :)
