I'm building a HTPC using an Antec Mini Skeleton 90 case, and I need to stick an Nvidia GPU inside. Does anyone know if the case can hold a dual-slot, low-profile card? Everywhere I look only mentions low-profile, but Nvidia makes some low-profile cards in dual-slot form which are more powerful.
 
iissmart,
you made me remember my build with the Skeleton mini...
Here the youtube video of this build
It was a nice adventure with a great result!
Anyways, you cannot fit a dual slot low profile in it; just a low profile one slot and careful with the heatsink... it must be not protruding over the card, otherwise it will hit the chassis.
Good luck!;)

Thanks for the info. I wonder if there's a 3rd party cooler I could put on the card to make it slimmer...I'll have to look around. Ideally it would be fanless, but I think any heatsink-only solution would be too large :(
 
Looking for NVIDIA cards only, but I don't know what kind of performance difference I'll see between the 430 (which has the most CUDA cores), the 520 and the 620. I'm playing 1080p video, sometimes over L4.1 h.264 quality, with 5.1 DD or DTS audio.

I cannot help here, sorry.:p
All of them should be okay, but never used personally.
