Hi,
I'm looking to integrate a PCIe x1 or x4 expansion card into as small a PC as possible without having to do extravagant mods (back in the day I actually connected a PCIe x1 card to a Merom Mac Mini via its WiFi port and it actually worked). I can work with half-height but ideally I'd like the option to work with full height too.
A Shuttle would work, but it's bigger than I was hoping for. Ideally I'd be looking at a nettop style arrangement, but aside from a thin client with an ultra low power CPU I've not found anything up to the task.
I'd be looking to use a Core i3/i5 low voltage chip, 4GB of DDR3 and twin SSDs (though we could go down to one). Optical drive not required.
The best contender so far is an Antec ISK300 150. Can anyone do better?
Thanks!
