Mobo and GPU compatibility issues.

Are there any known issues with mixing these in a rig? I mean having an Nforce mobo chipset and an ATI based GPU.

No problems...Am running a xt1900xt-x in my nforce4 motherboard as i type this...

You just can't run crossfire in a nf4 board..

Really interested in your rig as Im thinking of going SFF. Do you have the standard PSU? any issues with power/noise/overheating?

The single xt1900xt-x is more noisely then two 7800gtx together

Yes it's running the standard 350watt power supply with no problems..

I had heat problems with my two 7800gtx in sli...With a single ati xt1900xt-x or a single 7800gtx fitted there are no heat problems..

Noise levels are very low to say it has about 7 fans running.
