Potent graphics for your next mini-ITX build.
Thanks to Hexus for being the first to review this card.
BTW,you linked to the wrong card on the last page,ie, a GTX750TI.
Such alot of power for such a little thing and does not require extra GPU power cables. Perfect mid range graphics card in my mind - will be interesting to see how to compares to the older mid range cards like 6870
Not so - you need an 8-pin cable to supply the power it needsQuote:

It does make you wonder why graphics cards are normally so big
:shocked2: didn't see it on pictures - too dark - 'Doh'Quote:

Most mini-ITX cases are built around ether enough space for a full length card or a half height card, none I can think of off hand are designed around a short full height card with the additional width of a pci-e power cable on the side.
Off the top of my head, I remember the Cooler Master Elite 110 and a number of mITX Lian Li cases (including the fairly radical Q30) can only take short cards, but are still dual slot full height. I think there are a couple other cube cases out there which only take short cards, but you are right that there is no shortage of mITX cases which can accommodate long cards.Quote:

ps there's a few more cases you could add to your long card mini-itx case thread these days.

The first is a rebadged Cubitek Center.
Edit!!
BTW,AETAaAS your forget to add the Cubitek Mini Cube to that thread you started.
While there are only a few cases which will need this card; its performance and aggressive pricing (being one of the cheapest 270Xs on Scan) mean that it is a card which is applicable to a wide audience. The shorter card might be lighter and easier to work with and after reading the Hexus review, I think this is a front runner for me in the 270X range of cards.
Alas, I didn't intend to make that thread a comprehensive guide and low response led me away from it. :( But there certainly are a lot of new cases to be going on about now; the CM Elite 110, 250D, HAF Stacker small module and Bitfenixes the Lian Lis. With Computex going on, a couple more new interesting cases have come out like the Corsair Air 240 and 380T. Hexus also had on a couple new cases from Raijintek, Xigmatek and Deepcool. Plus the smattering of more eclectic cases and... what. Good god even eBuyer is in the game now. :P
Remember the 670 DirectCu Mini? Really shows that there is no need for such a massive cooler on a high performance chip.Quote:
