It appears the motherboard I'm getting will have the GPU sitting on top of the connector to the power button. Are these usually flat elbowed cables or is this going to be an issue? Does anyone have a Source 210 that can help me with this?

Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... It's right under where my 660 will be sitting.

I have a source 210 myself, but this is more of a motherboard size issue. On that front I am using a m-ATX mobo with a dual slot 770 and it isn't interfering with those cables.
So the card shouldn't even hit them, and if it does it shouldn't hurt them unless heat is an issue.

Could you link me to your specific motherboard so I can see where yours is located? I'm just making sure if it sits over it, the connector will still fit.

Erm, it's a stock dell mobo, but it looks nearly the same except the plugins are a little to the left. But m-ATX is a length standard (IIRC) so it means the length between them will not be an issue unless you run a quadruple slot card or a triple (Maybe dual) slot card in the 1x slot.

Well, one of the reviews says be careful will dual slot cards, which the 660 is. He said he still managed with his 7950, which if it doesn't have some wicked cooler on it, it's the same width as my GPU will be. I guess I'll just vote you as best answer and hope for the best.
