For an IONITX, what do you need the extra room for -- unless you want more drives, maybe? The heatsink is integrated, and both cases need a slim optical drive... True, the SG05 - especially minus the powersupply, will be cavernous for an IONITX, with only the single 120mm fan for cooling. But I hav...

DanceMan -- There's another small case we're just starting to examine. Silverstone SG05. Fits mini-DTX -- has 2 pci slots. Also a conventional 300w psu -- which may be its achilles heel. Excellent - I just cancelled the ISK-300 on my order and swapped it for the SG05. I was really tossing up betwee...

I haven't installed it yet, but I suspect it will be loud. Artic Cooling don't make a model for the 9200 series. Is this card low power enough (co...
