My google fu is just not trimmed today.

I'm looking for an itx chassi that can handle a double slot low profile graphics(not actually 2 slots but 1 slot and extra cooler).

Something that can hold:
XFX_R7_240_1+0001.jpg


I just can't find a case for it.
 
The isk 300 only supports a single slot. There is a thermaltake itx case that supports dual slots low profile.
 
I think Foxconn made some ITX cases with TFX PSUs and dual LP slots. IDK if they sold them on their own, or as a barebones with a motherboard.

Do you need to fit that EXACT card, or just an R7 240? There are single slot LP R7 240 cards on the market which use fan cooling and aren't passive.
 
Hmm have seen the Thermaltake. Not a pretty case.

Actually I was hoping for someone to bring forth a chassi like Streacom FC8 but with room for a passive LP card (hence double slots).
XFX is so far the only card I've seen that is LP and passive that could be crossfired with a A10-7850k.

Would love to see something like Silverstones milo 06 with double slots.

Would probably go with an intel and gpu instead. Crossfire with slow card + igu isn't going to be great.

It's already SFX-only.

Yes, I already edited my post :) What I remembered was there was a little space that MIGHT fit a slightly thicker then 1 slot card but the case was new and couldn't get any measurements.

This is the problem.
My first thought was to use the A10-7850k in a Streacom F1C to get a micro gaming rig. But now kaveri just doesn't even take me above my existing rig so it's not worth the feeling of a small footprint if it can't beat my 2,5 year old system.
But with "Dual Graphics" an A10-7850k with above mentioned card the system would beat my existing rig hence my hunt to find a case that is a Streacom F7C but with space for the GPU cooler.
 
FOUND IT:

http://www.minicase.net/product_E-I7.html

Really small chinese manufacturer that been praised at one place (in english that is).
A post in avsforum.com tells a build with a GPU that is roughly the same size.

It's not 2 slots but there will be space for the cooler.

Now it's just a question about getting it.
 
That is the same as the streamcom f7c and has a few extra mm of room, the card you show doesn't look like it fits. I have the f7c ordered from quietpc and I like it a lot but it didn't fit the zotac gtx 650 low profile.
 
Internet lied to me. It wont fit any double slot cards. I asked the canadian importer of the case.

Wonder if you could cut a F7C open on the side and let the cooler hang out?
(maybe not that smart but it's something).

Found this one yesterday looking for something else, interesting layout only available on aliexpress though

A strangely attractive case. A bit on the large side but I like that it's red (got a red lian li now). The built in PSU is ofcourse a questionmark but I think I'll dig into the case to see if I can find the producer.
Would not feel safe buying anything from aliexpress (what kind of page is it).

Are you sure about this? As far as I have found, the A10-7850k+R7-250 gets reasonable scores compared to Sandy i7+HD7750.

i7+HD7750:

In the Fire Strike test the APU setup scores higher, but the rest are somewhat lower. But still, there's a price difference to take into account... (depending on which intel setup you would choose...)

Exactly cheap+cheap beats expensive+cheap.

TDP wise it's lamost the same but it's much easier cooling a CPU in a small case then a GPU. A passive GPU is mandatory in my world as there is no GPU coolers with fans that is quiet enough. Specially in low profile.

Actually the case is pretty small, the volume comes out to 6.6L. I found an article on it somewhere and IIRC the PSU is from Enhance (http://www.enhanceusa.com/) but it could be OEM'd.

EDIT: On some hi-power mtb LED forums, guys buy off of aliexpress (usually clones of popular lights) it's all Chinese straight from the source biggest complaint is time to deliver can be pretty long.
