So, maybe this is just me being old fashioned or something, but I really don't get the modern trend of increasingly smaller cases. Bad for airflow, bad for heat dissipation, and a nightmare to work with if you have big hands! :p

I like small cases and I cannot lie.... My Raijintek Thetis window is one of the smaller full-ATX cases on the market and the airflow is great, plus it doesn't take up as much room under the desk. I guess I don't have any non-M2 drives in there so there's loads of room. We also have a Linux server in the living room that doubles as a light-duty gaming machine, in a Silverstone ML08 case that makes it look like a slightly bigger console - maybe like an 80s VHS player in size. It has a 1070 Ti and 6 SSDs in it I worry about the airflow in there but ... it seems to be OK so far!

Two in the same case though? What madness is this?

well I guess its a noob error on my part, I checked the length but never thought to check the height of the card. it physically wont go in my case (phanteks mini XL top slot) . The card is way higher than the PCI slots. going to have to swap it out for the Palit.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £419.99 (includes shipping: £0.00)

Well accorded to Kitguru review, they able to fit MSI GTX 760 Mini card with 120mm height which is higher than the PCI slots. Also they said the case is limited to about 140mm height for CPU cooler clearance.

Your case has about 140mm height clearance for both CPU cooler and GPU so MSI RTX 2060 Super Ventus OC height is 128mm, 8mm higher than MSI GTX 760 Mini. Sure it should be able to fit in.
 
no it didn't you cant get it the case.. it will fit if you could magic in place.. put the PCie slot plus the GPU makes it to high to get it swapped for Palit card

I read Enthoo Mini XL DS manual page 33 found the case has ITX motherboard plate that you can unscrew the ITX motherboard plate mount holes at the rear and top of case to remove the plate with your motherboard on it so you can install your MSI RTX 2060 Super Ventus OC card in PCI Express slot and the slot clip will secured locked the card then you can put the ITX motherboard plate slip back in the case and screwed plate mount holes at the rear and top of case and also screwed the PCI Express slot bracket.

It seem really very simple, guess ITX motherboard plate was already screwed in the case since you bought the case and didnt realised you can remove the plate. Kitguru probably removed the plate and screwed the motherboard on it, installed CPU, RAM sticks and MSI GTX 760 Mini ITX Gaming card in PCI Express slot then slip the plate back in the case like magic.
 
I put itx mount in but ages ago when they were two products. Plus a 360mm water cooler on itx too. Cant be arsed to taketthat outThanks for your input. Im happy with the palit card and in the flesh it actually looks better than the MSI one. Was packaged better as well.
