Looking for a Thermaltake SD101 Alternative

[Titanus Ferrum]

I have been looking at the Thermaltake SD101:

for a mini-itx build but the 180W power supply will not let me use this graphics card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125680

It is a Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti Low Profile graphics card that is dual slotted.

The idea is to build a console-like/HTPC mini-itx PC with the power of the GTX 750 Ti.

So far all my research is telling me that 180W is not enough for a GTX 750 Ti and that the Power supply form factor in the case is proprietary. A case with a non-proprietary would be preferred but not required, just enough to power the GTX 750 Ti is all I need.

As for CPU I am planning on using an i3 or a low powered i5, waiting for broadwell is an option.

Does anyone know of a mini-itx case that has a similar small low profile form factor that is dual slotted with a higher power rating? Or if something else is coming out soon like it?

Thank you,

I built a similar HTPC awhile back with this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811121100
and this card: http://www.galaxytech.com/__EN_GB__/Product2/ProductDetail?proID=517
Unfortunately the Gigabyte wasn't out yet or I would have gotten it.

You could also go with something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163174
and use a conventional AYX power supply of at least 300W. Ex: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151086

The Silverstone options look good but I like the smaller size of your HEC one.

What form factor of power supply does it use and is 300W enough for a GTX 750 Ti?

This is the nameplate from the PSU that comes with the Hec Case:

I felt it was marginal, so I replaced the PSU with this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151113
