XP-120 on a Intel D975XBX2 (Bad Axe 2) - will it fit?

Hi! As the headline says, I'm looking at this combo for my new music production rig. Just wanted to know if anyone has successfully mounted these two together?

About to build a music production PC... comments?

Ok, here it goes - my first PC build ever. It is meant to be used as a portable music production PC (DAW) with rackmounting support (primary) and as a HTPC (secondary).
