Default Dimensions behind stereo fascia?

I am looking at putting a CarPC in my 07 base. Before I jump into ordering parts I wanted to see if anyone knows how much room is behind the stereo fascia. I need about 8.5 inches of room behind the trim ring. My car is in the shop so I can't measure but I would appreciate it if someone knows the depth or could measure the depth if their dash happens to be apart.

If there isn't room I need a place to put a case from 7.5"x8.25"x2.5" to
10" x 9.25" x 3.125" dimensions; any suggestions?
Preferred Case

The rear 'wall' behind radio has several plastic parts that can be cut out if you need more room, they're there to support the back of the oem radio, but aren't really needed.

Thank you. I think I am going to wait until my car gets back home before I order anything.

I appreciate the help.
