I am looking to build a gaming pc that will fit onto a shelves in my home cinema room the shelves are made for audio video so it needs to be no bigger then say Amp size approx 340Dx440Wx220H

All this pc is going to be used for is TF2 and maybee LFD2 on lets say medium settings upwards i cant find a case flat enuth to do this any help would be great cheers guys.

Also video and sound via HDMi is a must as i have a 1080p projector running via an onkyo Audio video hdmi 7.1 Amp.

SG05 will NOT fit a 4870 without mods.

You'll have to use a 4850 instead - probably a good thing as they are single slot leaving you a little more space for whatever you want in the case. Link above has a full list of compatible high end cards as well, if you feel like something different.

A 4870/90 CAN FIT! LINKAGE its very tight but possible

I have an HD4890 in my SG06 (same as SG05 but with different front panel). Using the Powercolor btw.

I needed to slide out the fan grille and put the PCI-E power cables in from that angle, then click the card into place and slide the fan grille back over. Easy.
