Guys,

Is there any SFF casing like QXBOX that support mounting normal size (eg. GA-965P-S3) ATX motherboards?
Been finding for sometime already but seems don't have.

SFF usually = m-ATX or smaller.

BUT...someone did manage to mod an ATX board in the the XQBOX long time ago... with the PCI Slots etc facing the side instead of the back.


anyway, u wan small case with atx board u should take a look at Lian Li V600 or Lian Li A05.


u could also check the XQBOX ATX HTPC cases HERE

my biggest problem is im currently using Hyper 212+ CPU Cooler. When i bought it i only found out the existence of these nice SFF casing which i liek so much. Especially the XQBOX SFF =\

Sell your motherboard n get a m-atx board? some of them are selling quite cheap especially ASUS i tink

i think it can fit ur casing ngam ngam only.. btw 5970 will cost around >RM2700 if reach m.sia

I dun think u are right on the pricing...
the price should be around RM2.5k.
saw ppl selling at RM2,499..

By the way...if i were u...i wait for Nvidia GT300 series come out 1st...
then the price for this item should drop...
New item sure expensive..
in fact it is the most expensive X2 card ever...

13.5 inch "
longer than a standard 12inch long ruler..
dun think most of the casing in the market can fix it...
Dun think CM690 can fit that in as well...
should need sumthing much bigger (deeper)

Hmm..i will wait for 5950!!!
lets hope its shorter!!

i think the price around 2.5k also..
erm.. silver stone raven 01 / 02??
becoz the design different from all the normal casing.. so i think should be no problem for it..

my calculation is based on UK pounds.. based on bit-tech website, the card will sell in UK at 520 pound wit include VAT tax.. simple converter in google n i get approximately RM2913

Well easiest way...
jus go form there and type 5970 u should see 2 or 3 threads selling around 2500
anyway..again i dun think the card worth that much "
when 4870x2 launch it is about 1600...
now ati able to charge a premium price simply becoz it is the current king of the hill..
after nvidia launch theirs...
i think the price will drop drastically...

then we shall wait for gt300.. since all prices WILL DROP Eventually! but i read in some sites its around 600USD which equals to just RM2k.. give and take all the middleman cuts it should be around 2.4 - 2.5k? just worried about case space.. im sure RV01 RV02 and FT02 will not have a prob fitting this monster as your mobo is vertically mounted.

Yes in fact the real price of this item is 599usd...
if u times with RM3.5 per usd..it is less than RM2100...
anyway...
i expect it to drop to 499 by next year march...

im ok to buy this monsters if its around RM1.7 - 1.8K not above 2k..

hahaha tot this is a casing thread...
but some how it become a pricing discussion thread...
anyway...to install this card i think u really need a giant casing...
expect the casing to be over 400 bucks...
reason??
again....take a 12 inch ruler out...
and u can feel how is 13.5 inch "

even if i won a competition and get the card for free...
i believe i will sell it off...and get an 5870 (2gb version maybe)

yea the main topic is whether this card can fit into your regular joe casings ... lol.. i just measured my tj09.. the GC barely fits the case.. currently using 10"5 inch gtx 275

1/ since u already have the TJ09 and u know the length of the card, why not take a measuring tape and measure it? u already did

2/ and considering this quote from u...

and also the pricing HERE as well as other sales thread in the garage sales...


this thread can close liao coz the card is gonna be around 2.5k

btw dood, saw ur siggy that ur using the ASUS VK266H

how is it? for gaming and surfing mainly.

been thinking about buying it if/when i have the cash.

my ATCS840 can fit just nicely

Well, its very big and good for movies. having a 5ms panel.. general gaming is ok, but for high fps they might be a little ghosting. if i were to spend my money again ill go for 3 X 24" 2ms panels with this giant 5970
