Hey guys,

Just thought I would put this here - its my secondary gaming rig, with a Zotac miniITX board, Intel Dual Core E5300 and an ATI Radeon 4870 512MB card.

Amazingly this stuff all runs off the stock PSU that the SG05 comes with, and even more amazingly, the GFX card fits in the chassis. Just! the power connectors on the back of the card are squashed right up against the end of the chassis. Heat doesn't seem to be too much hassle - even with the card having a custom Asus pre-overclocked BIOS flashed to it, which puts the default gpu core up from 715MHz to 775MHz.

Anyone else fitting "Desktop" sized gfx cards in their miniITX builds?
 
Very good. Check the gallery, people have fitted 5850s in that case I think. Also Google 'gaming in tight spaces'. Some guy made a nice little gaming build in one of these cases.
