Oops, I just reread my post and that just didn't come out right did it.

Once you add 3", next time you need 6", and so on and so forth.
You'd end up with a case the size of an Abrahams tank.
My next build is probably going to be a mini-atx one, just to see how much stuff I can cram inside one of those cases without it blowing up or melting down.
Cheers,

I know where you could get another 6950.

What on earth would I do with 3 6950's, assuming I could actually fit it someplace, which I can't. :shock:

You'll be sorry. Everything you buy has to be half height, and whatever you want cant be found in that size. You end up with what you can find in the right size, not what you wanted. Been there, Done that. Didn't even get a T-Shirt.

Well, whatever you're doing now, you could do it a lot faster. maybe you would want 3 6950's for the same reason some people want 3 690's. I guess they want to play BF3 at idle.

Thanks for the advice Steve.
I guess I'll start thinking about a different new toy then.

I found that it is a lot easier to find room to put a big case than it is to find room inside a small case.

10-4 on that good buddy! I see no reason to build in a mini-ITX case just so it can be on a shelf with the DVD player.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

I'm liking this new case design a lot. Could be a fun build, check it out.

HAF XB - LAN Box

Then there's this wicked idea to consider.

Enclosures -> m-ITX - Cooler Master

 

[essenbe]

I looked at the HAF XB once. I'm going to build a computer for my Granddaughter and she has limited space. The best part about it is forget cable management it's a lost cause. But it would be a good test bench too. It's kind of a neat case, but I sure wouldn't want to have to work inside it.

For the true PC'ers there are two mini PC's the Raspberry Pi and...

...then the flashdrive size with ARM Dual core 1.4CPU and 1GHz quadcore GPU CP Cotton Candy.
FXI's $199 Cotton Candy is the 'world's smallest computer' - TechSpot

Worlds smallest computer with screen. Apple Mactini World's Smallest Computer
The apple martini crowd will swallow it up I'm sure.
Looks like it is back to basics for the Mac OS programming. 1-0-1-0-1
I think it is Kari's favorite Apple OS OSuX.

Hold the applause I'll be here all week!

 

[Britton30]

Steve, the HAF-XB looks fairly usable except if you want to swap a CPU cooler.

Thanks Mike, good to see you back.

No, it's 2 of them!

Guess I could play Crysis 2 and 3 at idle, then. Hah.

 

[essenbe]

Maybe you could. My one 6950 can play anything out on the highest settings with no problems. But, I'm not sure if 2 will match my 670 SC., at least on benchmarks.

The HAF XB looks pretty cool.
Will check if it's available down here.
Thanks for the tip Alan.
