Need advice regarding EVGA Hadron Air

[Lemonade Ninja]

Hi there, I'm considering purchasing an EVGA Hadron to help with transporting my system to and from University, however I'm concerned about temperatures, specifically of my graphics card.

I currently have a 780 SC ACX. The fan is an exhaust type, and I'm very concerned whether or not
the hot air it's putting out will make the case a no-go.

So I need suggestions as to what to do, I've considered using a different case but I can't find anything as small, and portable as the Hadron that fits a 780. I've even considered getting a reference 780 or upgrading to a 780ti, but that seems like an extreme workaround for my issue.

Cheers for the help!

How about the new Corsair 380t (when it comes out)?

Saw that the other day, obviously depends on what cooling is like inside it, but not too sure on looks!

From what I've heard, it will take a "full length graphics card", by which I assume it means high power cards like 780ti. Whether you like the looks is down to personal preference, of course

Edit!

MSI do this 'barebones' system:

The MSI one does look nice, but is a tad expensive, :/

Here's a look at the inside of the 380t http://www.techpowerup.com/201683/co...itx-cases.html
card length is supposed to be upto 290mm space and cooling shouldn't be any major issue, however it is on the large side for an mini-itx case
450mm tall, 365mm wide and 440mm long
Although it does come with a built in handle for easier transport.

On the 780 SC ACX & Hadron Air . . . hard to say, probably not but maybe, if it does then it'll be very tight fit, best bet would be to contact evga and ask them.

on the msi nightblade, it is a bare bone system, ie case+psu+motherboard but at £375 that is still a bit pricey, the motherboard is the MSI Z87I Gaming AC I think, which is £130ish, the psu is a Silverstone ST60F-ESG which is another £70ish
So £175 for the case . . . yes that's over priced.

For low cost have a look at the Coolermaster Elite 130
The Silverstone SG07 or SG08 is still worth a look
Also the corsair 250d, a bit on the large side
Coolermaster HAF 915 R & F versions might be worth a look too.

Thanks for the suggestions, the SG07 looks nice, not too keen on the looks of the Coolermaster though...

The 250D looks alright, if a tad wide.

I think I'll definitely make a thread on EVGA forums regarding the gpu, as they're both EVGA products!
