Any way to fit these components into a smaller case ?

Now that I've setup a NAS I'm contemplating downsizing my current case which is a Silverstone FT02.

But don't really want to have to buy any new components.

Is there anything that will fit the following :

Gigabyte GA-X58-OC ATX M/B - I'd consider changing motherboard as long as it could accommodate the GTX580's
Corsair HX1000 PSU
2x Gainward Phantom GTX580 - think this is what will probably stop me as they are 2.5 slot cards
3-4 SSD drives


My gut is telling me that I'd have to change the motherboard and probably change the GTX580's to an equivalent single card but asking here just in case theres a solution.

How small do you want to go? I mean if you went mATX you would have to scrap your current graphics cards but would still have dual card as an option.

If you want to keep everything then really you are looking at midi towers which aren't really SFF.
 
Ideally almost half the size of the FT02

I looked through the motherboard options last night and so far the only mATX x58 that fits the bill (SATA3, USB3, Triple-channel, SLI) is the ASUS Rampage III Gene.

But as you said I'm probably going to have to change the GFX cards to get it into a case.

Think i'll give it a miss until I'm ready to change the whole system.
 
could try the FT03, they can hold 2 graphics cards but they point upwards rather then to the back, and it's half the size of the FT02 but you would need a different motherboard though, got 4 pci spaces on it

[edit] nvm, you have the chunkiest graphics cards i've ever seen lol they won't fit
