As the title says built over 6 Months ago, currently working on 6 Core AMD ITX Build..

Case: SG05
Mobo: Gigabyte ITX H55
Optica Drive: 8 x DVD R/W
CPU: i7 860 @ 3.3GHZ (7.6 WEI)
Mem: 2 x 2 GB PC8500 @ 1280MHZ (7.6 WEI)
HD 1: Crucial M225 64GB (7.3 WEI)
HD 2: Seagate 5400.6 500GB
GPU: 1 GB 5850 (7.9 WEI)
PSU: 450W Silverstone MATX

CPU Cooler: Corsair H50 + Stock Fan
CPU Temp: 38-45 idle, <55 Full Load
GPU Cooler: Arctic Cooling Twin Turbo Pro
GPU Temp: 45-50 idle, <60 Full Load

I know you can get H50 in here but getting it in with a Full Length graphics card is something I have not seen, so I made it happen, very quiet system, good temps. The GPU Cooler was hardest choice as didn't want stock one, the Twin Turbo was best option but getting it to fit was tricky as it is Tripple Slot..

Trouble is with the SG05, you have to make a choice. You either gimp your graphics card length or go with an optical drive.

I think your mistaken, The optical drive fits regrdless of the graphics card length, I Have an optical drive in there, but forogt to mention, thanks for reminding me

I'm going to need to see pictures of how you've done that then. I used to run an HD5850 in mine and there was no way it'd fit without rotating the H5O and fitting it so that it covers the ODD bay.

Have you modified the case at all?

Looking forward to the pictures too.

If you get to see this before the 23rd I'd like to know what brand of 5850 you have (for card length), and if you needed to cut away any of the case front for the aux power connections to fit.

Some of the 5850 look way to long, they have 5830 long cards and 5850 same length, but I think first batch of 5850 are short, same length as 4870.I Think I have the XFX version or similar brand, it is a tight fit just like a 4870, but harder since the H50 radiator is in the way, if you have dual slot card you don't need to cut front of case, but it is easier to put in that way, I didn't cut just have to angle in and some force, I.e stretch case apart, plug in Both PCI-E connecters then force card in.

I have tripple slot card so was much harder, Have cute through side to allow fans through, pics coming in few days
