I didn't read this thread, but my XFX 6970 does not work in my asrock z68 mini-itx, but works in all other computers. I am stumped at this point.

I believe the intel i3-2105 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115090 has hd3000 graphics too, but you'd probably want to go with the 2500k for games

All the boards I've seen have the socket next to the PCIe slot, though I haven't specifically searched for one that doesn't.

use the onboard raid for that, not worth the price of a raid card for two drives

Yeah, I found out by trial and error, lol. I used a Corsair h60 and an Antec 620 for some of my mITX builds, and they work great.

the cooler is useless on a mini-itx board with a card in the pci-e slot. so like a graphics card would prevent the cooler from even fitting, or vice versa.

if you're using an x58 w/ tri-channel ram you should really have all 3 ram slots full for best performance. :)

Yes! I am almost done with the build. I ended up switching the power supply. Pics and stuff coming soon! :)

lol yeah, it was water damaged, but luckily the case was covered with plastic, but it didn't even leak through. :) I had a Coolermaster low profile cooler that I had sitting around for another computer, that worked nicely, except it overhangs the pci-e slot, so no go. Looks like I'm going to...

I really wanted to try without it first, lol. It looks like it will make my life much easier though

the power supply is going to be my main issue, I'll probably have to end up using something else.

I figured I may run into some problems with the PSU, but if I can't get it to work, I'll just replace my rig with it (I could use it) and try again with another brand on her new build.

Howdy all, decided to post my future build. Going to be ordering this in the next couple of days. LIAN LI PC-Q11B Black Aluminum Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case H67M-ITX/HT LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz...

I guess my only option is to buy it and try it out for myself :(

my goal is a small nas server using mini-itx motherboard and case, 6-8 2tb drives, socket 1155 i3 or i5, using onboard video/ intel hd 2-3000. the hardware raid card goes in the only 16x pcie slot. is this feasible?
