I want to Build A Small form but yet extremely Powerful System for Gaming. Is there a site that sells just the Specific Parts for these type of PC's.
 
No , but the biggest and most obvious place to find everything in one spot would be newegg or zipfoomfly.
 
Uhh. Newegg is good.

I reccomend.

Cases: Aspire Qpack or Ultra MicroFly
MOBO: Biostar Tforce 6100 or DFI rs482 (for overclocking). Asus Geforce 6150
PSU: Antec NeoHE or Enermax Liberty. (enermax liberty is not compatible with the DFI)

QFT.

If X-Qpack doesn't fit your taste, I'd go for one of those Aopen G325 one to look more flashy. I wonder why not many people have that case. Looks pretty good to me.
 
You could get some thing like a Shuttle SN26P and stick two nVidia 7900 xyz's into it.

hmm... I'm under the impression that Shuttle are a little too compressed in space for much expansions. May be too limited in space for his need of "extremely powerful system for gaming". I've only seen the beefy video card fits when the user mod the case by cutting out the side.
 
The Pc is only going to be made for Gaming. Im going to keep it a Single Video Card System. I just need to know what I should be looking for when it comes to Small Form Parts. Ive built many Desktops but this is my first Small.
 
I mean, what do you wanna know? You need an mATX case, mATX mobo, and ATX PSU generally- short of that its the same as an ATX tower; but cooler.
 
If you werent going SLi/Cross fire, you could get a SN25P and put a x1900xt/x or a 7900GTX in. Research your cards first though. I didnt and I have to return a HIS Excalibur ICEQ3 x1900xt. The cooler is too wide near the "front" of the card (ie. the opposite end to the DVI ports). I now have an x1900xt with the vanilla cooler and it just fits in. That model uses the nForce 4 ultra chipset now. I put a 4400+ x2, a 36gb raptor, 320gb data hdd, and NEC dvd writer in. All fits and is impressively quiet.

If you decide to go for this; post and I will be happy to tell you more about my experiance with this model (numbering a few days).
 
CPU:
intel: 920,930,940
AMD: 3800X2, 4200X2, 4400X2, FX-57

Motherboard:
intel: ABit lg-81, asus p5ld2-vm
AMD: DFi RS482, BIostar TFORCE-6100

VC:
ati: X1800XT, X1900XT
NV: 7800GTX, 7900GT, 7900GTX

Ram:
intel: 2GB DDR2-667/675
amd: 2GB DDR-500

PSU:
enermax liberty 400/500/600w
antec neohe 500/550w
Ultra X-connect X2/X-finity 550w/500w

Case:
Silverstone sg01
Aspire X-QPACK
QMICRA
Ultra micro fly
 
My goal in this is to make my case as quiet as possible. I am going to cut the 120mm Fan Grill out of the Qpack and replace it with a 120mm Fan Filter, and make the Fan an Intake. The fans specs are 1600rpm, 28dba, 63cfm. I am going to have a 7700cu which will work as a team with the intake fan. The IceQ x1900xt is a Exhaust design based around the Artic Silencers. With that in mind my next question is, should the X2's Fan be facing downward or Upward? Is the airflow pattern between my Intake Fan, 7700cu, Intake Fan, PSU Fan going to work, or is there a restriction?

Ignore the others mate, check this out. this comes with all your water cooled components pre-installed, all you need to do is add your PC components. i have just built a Q-pack on air. it has a 6800 Ultra in with a foxconn 6150 board and a opty 146 chip.... oh and a 50" high def monitor ;) :cool: ;)
