Just a few questions i got :)

Just wondering if anyone has one of these here...

Can you fit an AGP GFX card and a TV TUNER PCI card at the same time using 2 risers?

Does your system overhead that much?

:)
 
As far as I know it is just the one.

And the cooling should be fine as long as you build an appropriate system into the case, and understand that small form factor cases like the Hiper do not offer top level cooling.
 
I was thinking of a SKT939 Venice - 3200 maybe and a R9800. Would i encounter overheating problems?
 
Sorry for bumping this thread but i need to know some stuff..:)

Has anyone every been able to mod this case to allow the use of 2 expansion cards(1 gfx card, 1 pci card) succesfully?

I can't seem to find the right motherboard for this case as i need TVout on board to allow me to use the 1 expansion slot for a tv tuner card...:(
 
Have you considered a small mod to the case?
For example, the MSI RS482-M4 (I think I've got the model right :p ) & plenty of others use a PCI plate running into a header on the motherboard to give TV out from the onboard GFX. You could just drill a hole & pass the PCI plate cable through?

I'm not familiar with the case in question, but I'd assume that you could also reach one of the sides with the PCI plate- You could then cut/ drill holes & mount it appropriately?

Ok i have moded the case by drilling a small hole to allow the tv out adaptor to come through.

This is the system i built in to it - :

AMD Opteron 146 SK939(Cooled by a coolermaster 1u 939 cooler)
512MB DDR400
MSI-RS482M4-ILD
Hauppauge PVR150MCE - i hear these run hot

I was thinking of getting a small 40mm fan to cool down the inside of the case but i am unsure where to mount/ how to mount it without drilling more holes. All i can think of is cable ties but maybe that is not suitable.
