High-End video card in SFF.

[imported_Mascot]

Would this setup be safe, heatwise in a SFF case?

AMD X2 3800
x1800XL or 7800GTX or 7800GT
1 GIG Crucial Ram
200GIG HDD
Audigy 2 ZS

Need some inputs!

Make sure your power supply isn't wimpy

Let's up the ante. Is it possible to have a 7800GT in a quiet SFF without resorting to water cooling?

Note that some of those cards use 2 slots. How Small FF? You may not have room, and some cases will not take full sized cards in height or length.

The SN26P can actually do SLI, but you've really gotta work to get the heatsinks in place appropriately on the cards.

Remember that the 7800GTX actually consumes less power than a 6800U, so I wouldn't panic about the power supply situation.

Yeah, the newer 350W Shuttle PSUs will handle it fine.
