Nvidia Chipset About to Hit Market
I was thinking... will any of these motherboards with the nForce chipset be made for ultra-slim cases? That would definitely do away with the typical **** integrated Intel video that they usually come with, and make slim PC's a much more viable option for gamers.

As a gamer, I tend to be running a hot system, in my last case, my CPU ran IDLE at around 67 degrees centigrate. What makes a good case is good cooling, I really doubt that a slim case would be a viable soulution, becuase a) people love to customize their case and b) with the speed of todays parts, you NEED cooling, the hdd + the CPU = HEAT and lots of it.
I got an Antec SX1030 ("File server case") + 4 chassis fans (80mm) plus the CPU fan and the power supply fan, and I'm still running around 40 degrees centigrate. (CPU not ambient) I doubt you could fit any nice big 80mm fans in a slimline, but I guess with legs and with the intake on the bottom exhaust on the top two of them.. hmm, that MIGHT work, but yea, it would be a lot of work to do... Thanks, but no thanks, I'll keep my server case! ;-)

Agree. I had to keep my full tower case open on one side, and have to leave the balcony door open when everyone is asleep just to keep it cool.
I **** & **** Everyday, do you?
