Slim HTPC case with full height card support

Looking for a small case for a miniITX build but need to be able to install a full height graphics card. The Silverstone FT03 mini is one option but remember seeing an even smaller case that would take a full height PCI-e card horizontaly with an adapter. Has anyone seen this or has any other suggestions? The PSU will also have to be 350W+.

Had a look at these but was hoping to find something with a more conventional HTPC design.

Found it!

It is the Wesena e5

Have they been ever on sale here?

Surprised nobody can come up with any other options.

There is no reason why a mITX case could not take a full height card horizontaly like the Wesena in order to remain slim and compact. The GD05 and similar ones take the cards vertically so they cannot be slim.

And these ITX cases are not the easiest to mod ;-)

How did I miss the ML03 ?!

Has anybody installed a full height GPU? It will have to be single slot but think I've seen single slot 6850 previously.

Didn't miss it but had excluded it as I could not think of a way to install a GPU on top of the CPU!
