SFF for big video card

I currently have the x1900xt, which is a big mother.... of a card. I am looking for a small form factor PC that can house and run the beast. But I?m also looking toward the future as well. Eventually ill be buying a dx10 card. And they are supposed to make cruise liners look small?

ive been going through the SFF's that newegg has and they just done seem big enough and the psu is lacking. as my current system at idle is currently pulling 330 wats.

any suggestions or is it just too early?
 
I have a X1900XT and it fit (barely) in my Aspire X-QPack micro ATX case w/ no modding necessary. Only thing I can think of interfering w/ this card is if you have an extra wide HSF (I'll have to check when I get home to see what the clearance is).

Depending on the mobo you have, it will eat up the adjacent PCI slot and if there is a 2nd PCI slot whatever goes in there will be a tight fit.
 
You can also look into the Silverstone SG-01.

You can use standard sized ATX power supplies in it, and it has plenty of room for large cards. I have a 7900GTO in mine and it fits just fine. Newegg's price is pretty high, but of course they have the best pictures. I got mine from Outpost for $112 shipped.

Check out this thread at HardOCP for some good pictures of a loaded SG-01, including one with two 7800GTXs inside running SLi.
