Geforce 7800 GTX won’t fit in MSI K8N SLI

MSI MESSED up one of its premium motherboards as you won't be able to fit a Geforce 7800 GTX in it. It's an SLI system and people at some forums discovered that one of the capacitors will interfere with one of the cards.

We can clearly say that all users of MSI K8N SLI board won’t be able to fit G70, G70, Geforce 7800 GTX card in this board.

One of the capacitors is simply on the way. If you break the capacitor you will break the board as it simply won’t run without that small but crucial part. You simply cannot take the capacitor off as the board won't work without it.

We know that two G70s will fit on DFI SLI motherboard as we tried it ourselves and we know that Asus SLI boards can accommodate two SLI G70 cards as well. We believe that MSI will work on a new revision of the board that will be able to accommodate G70, Geforce 7800 GTX.

I wonder if you could just de solder the cap and add on extension wires....shrink wrap it and be good to go.

I wonder if the inquirer could have simply used the word 'simply' more times in that paragraph. I simply don't make a living writing articles and even I know not to do that. The article simply sounds like shit with it in there.
