T43 15" with 9cell battery dimensions

[DIGITALgimpus]

Ok, I ordered a T43 with a 9cell, but I'm curious if my current laptop case will handle it (I had a A31 with a 15" display).

Anyone with a T43 15" with a 9 cell that knows the dimensions? I'd love to be able to prepare in advance (figure out/purchase a new case if necessary).

From the pictures it looks like an extra inch is needed with the 9 cell. Can anyone give a more accurate measurement of size?
