Im lookin to shrink my rig down and stuff it into a SFF box soon. Been looking at micro atx and shuttles. ITX isnt an option for me because I have a pci tv tuner for my westy 37" that I use as my monitor. As such, if I go the shuttle route, I think Im limited to video cards with single slot coolers. Am I right in this assumption? If so, is a 4850 really my best option? Thats not really enough of a step up from my current 8800gtx, so if thats the case Id have to go uATX.
 
Yes if you do go the Shuttle route, you are limited to single slot cards if you use both the PCI and PCI-E slots. As a result, the fastest available single slot card available to you is the HD4850.

So your best bet is an uATX setup
 
Yeah the a 4850 would be the best single slot card you could stick in a shuttle but with the limited space in a shuttle and the crappy little fan on a single slot it will get hot.

If you want to game on it as well I would be going uATX-mATX
