    It seems to fit fine into a Shuttle G2 series SFF PC:

    The 300W PSU seems adequate for the job with a Phenom II!!

    Looking at the pics it looks like it will blow all the heat into the shuttle case making it a nice warm foot rest for the winter months.

    Yep!! This is the main issue with single slot cards. I suppose you could run the whole shebang with the case panel off though if you are gaming.

    Haven't read it in depth (so may have missed it) but it would have been nice if they included temperatres in the review.

    The GTX 260 is still a capable card. At the end of the day with all the shortages and the Fermi delayed Nvidia's partners are twiddling their thumbs and trying to drum up business.

    Just look at the GTX275 with a GTS250 surgically attached! Hehe...

    Check my second post in the thread. In the Shuttle G2 case the graphics card reaches 76C under load.

    That's not that long ago.

    Cards like the geforce 5950 ultra and radeon 9800xt only had a small very loud fan on them with next to no shrouding.

    And I don't hink my 3dfx voodoo had a fan on it. might not even have had a heat sink. Probs best get back ontrack though, don't want yet another nostalgia thread.

    Card looks nice, and hopefuly should be quiet as my mates 8800gt was quiet with a single slot. just needs good variable fan speed.

    Re: Single Slot GTX260 review

    It looks like the same fan as the 8800GT, though how fast it's controlled is of course important. If anything, the original 8800GT could have done with more fan speed.
