blower cooler plus some risers. the rvz02 comes with two risers - one horizontal, one vertical. it allows the card to be completely seperate from the motherboard, PSU, CPU, etc when it dissipates heat.
the hdd is mountable there if your card is 8" or below
Yeah it's a pretty good solution, that would definitely work better than the more conventional setup in the 304, that's not a blower card on the photo though I think a reference 970 would be the perfect card for a mITX build, I'd trade my 390 for one of those in a heartbeat.
Why haven't I seen this picture yet?
Alienware Alpha OP
I know, I'm just talking about the perfect combo, then showed how my case does it
I'd kill for an 8 inch reference cooled 980ti though.
Upcoming nVidia Pascal cards might be something like that, that would be amazing, if they turn out to be power efficient too mITX builds will get even more popular.
hnng, yes please. flagships that can be cool and small without huge power draw is my dream
I rock a big-ass Cooler Master HAF 922 in my living room
NO REGRETZ
I wish they'd provide a version of the Alpha with high-end laptop parts like the 980M. Judging from laptops who come with these chips, including laptops from Alienware themselves, cooling and PSU should not be an unsolvable problem.
Oh I'm totally aware of the challenges; some manufacturers like Silverstone almost get the form factor down close enough but then the cases just don't look as sleek/modern. Or Lian-Li with their VCR look. It's almost like everyone is trying to be too unique and the designs fall flat for me.
I'd pay a pretty penny for a box that looks sleek, can house all the hardware I'm trying to fit (mITX, SFX PSU, full-sized GPU probably with a riser), and is no larger than an XBO.

Well, "slim" is relative, but Lian Li have the PC-07 for wall mounting.I wish that they would make slim ATX or mid ATX cases.

I've been considering a Gaming HTPC setup next time I decide to get a new computer (still on my 2009 GTX 275 / Q9550 build...) and came across this which looks pretty decent as far as form + power + price + noise combo goes: http://mymediaexperience.com/htpc-builds/performance-htpc/
It's using an i5-4570S + GTX 960. Unfortunately don't think it fits the "doesn't look like a VCR" requirement:
For now, here You have a little teaser. Maybe tomorrow we'll make a gallery for our 5th prototype (similar to the one made for 4th prototype).

Hi Guys,
We really wanted to answer in this topic, but we had to wait ages for activation of our registration.
Me and my brother (SaperPL), we are standard forum users and designers of Sentry PC case. We were searching for a specific SFF (small form factor) PC case, and when we didn't find it, we decided to make our own box. Our goals were similar to what we all wanted:
"a powerfull pc case, which can handle full length gpu's, has internal psu and it's internal volume is less than 7L, just like most of the consoles":.
We're not a pc case factory, so we needed a little help with our small project. We've made several prototypes togother with the community of [Hard Forum] and [Linus Tech Tips Forum], and now we just finished our 5th prototype.

Very impressive! I really like the internal compartments of the case. Does the case take a full ATX power supply or an SFX one? And when can I buy this? I am serious, I love the design.
Sfx or sfx-l depending on the number of ssds you need. Cool!
It looks like it isn't made from toy parts.
