What's the best SFF set-up where...

[NaveAdair]

I can reuse the main components from my current build (to keep cost low)? My current build has:

Q6600
HD4870
4GB DDR2 800

I'd like to reuse all three of these, if possible. I'm wondering if a Shuttle would fit the HD4870, and if so, which one is best? Otherwise, what else is there? Lanboxes are kind of big, so if there's anything smaller then I'd like to go with that.

Thanks in advance.

maybe a zotac 9300 itx wifi + SG05

Those both seem good, my only concern is would the power supply on that case be sufficient? Most vendors recommend at least 500W for a 4870.

Quality of powersupplies are questionable. So video card vendors over estimate powersupply needs, so a 350 to 400watts, should power a 4870 with no problems.

I've got an SG05 and a 4870...that card will not easily fit without some modding. I ended up using a 9800GT in the SG05 because of length limitations (and the PSU is probably a bit weak).

the 4870 cant be that hard to fit as its not much longer then the GTS250/4850(and much shorter then GTX260/280) and people are squeezing GTX280 in there

I could make it fit...the problem is the power connector on the end. I'd have to cut away some of the metal on the front. That and the 300W power supply seems a little weak. And doesn't have enough 6 pin or 4 pin molex connectors. And that's why I said it doesn't "easily fit".

Palit's 4870 dual sonic will fit plus the power connectors are at the side of the Video card. It's a good fit actually but when I turn on my rig the PSU has a buzzing sound seems like the PSU is overloading. Going to put back my 8800GTS.

The PSU is good enough for a 4870. If you're not satisfied enough, grap a 80+ Athena 550w microPSU from newegg.

But will the Athena fit without modding? I know the 460W model didn't.
