Need Help on this Mini-Itx motherboard

[rickpcnerd]

I have always wanted to build a computer small as possible fitting to a size of DVD Player just for gaming replacing a console. Im not sure if a Mini-Itx with pci-e 16x is compatible to a Nvidia 8800 gt. Need to know if any pci-e card is compatible or has to be a specifig card design for mini-itx.

I just visited a website called mini-itx.com. You might want to check them out. Don't know why you need such a small format. the 8800gt requires a decent power supply and airflow, which mini-itx cases aren't designed for.

well, im going to build my own case (dvd player style). Will use a pci-e 16x riser, wish will allow my to put my video card horizontal. Have everything design with good air flow. My idea is to replace my xbox 360 with something better with better graphics, with a machine capable playing games at 1920x1080. Just need to know gaming cards are compatible to mini-itx mobos.
