That looks really cute, well done asus.

Bitspower or EK, make a full cover waterblock for this

Well it was only a matter of time until they release a Mini version, like they did with older versions

So it's this VS the 285 ITX?

Spoiler alert: 970 wins

Of course it does, unless this thing starts throttiling like crazy. (improbable though)

mATX and mITX builds are getting more appealing by the day. Now i want a 250d build.

Not many noteworthy ITX cases are actually that limited in GPU length. Its more an issue of fitting dual slot cards. Most of them will fit a reference card quite happily. Never really seen the appeal of these if I'm honest. They exhaust most of the heat back out into the case (atleast that appears to be what happens) as opposed to doing the reference card thing and just spitting it all out the back.

Didn't Lian Li made a HTPC mini ITX case a little bit taller than a xbox one I think it's called PC-19A MINI-ITX. If the cards fits that case, it's going to be a huge sucess!

as someone who has already purchased a Gigabyte 970 OC here http://www.ncix.com/detail/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-970-oc-6d-103049-1029.htm. I don't think Asus were the first.

Still a lovely card though! Glad to see more on the market!

Would there ever be a water block for one of these short cards?

 

[Dawelio]

I believe the Cooler Master Elite 110 requires a bit shorter card, and this looks appealing. Although, not sure about the measurements though.

Unlikely. But you wouldn't put this in a case with space for more than a slim 240mm rad anyways.

I want to build an ITX / mATX gaming rig next year.... my planned first ever Intel based build!

Do we have any details on price? I imagine it will fetch a premium being bespoke to the mATX/ITX community.
