I think this is a rather nice step. I wonder what the temperatures are.

This is an cool little product. I would've bought one if it were for consumers. 🙁

The HD 7850 can live off 75W? Wow... I wonder if it's undervolted and/or made from cherry-picked chips. The minimalist design is awesome though! I love it when cards are made this way. Too bad it's an OEM part. Hopefully, some of them get to retailers just like how some other OEM parts do. 😀

what's the point of making such a card if it's not available for consumer? boutique PC companies only? cuz we all know guys like HP and Dell probably won't go for SSF. and if companies like ASUS wanted to build a tiny ITX box with a single slot card, they'll do it themselves...

I got my hopes up, then I saw OEM only. I've been waiting for a more powerful single slot card for awhile, the 7750 just doesn't cut it for me, and it's currently the most powerful single slot card that is readily available. I want to build a living room gaming PC in a console form factor, and all of the really small mini-ITX cases only have room for single slot cards. Keeping my finger crossed for Next Gen, maybe the 750 or 8750/9750 will be powerful enough for my purposes, yet have low enough power usage for single slot.

@shikamaru31789 build it yourself. I don't intend to offend you, it's just that right now I'm building my own SFF case out of Aluminum. I got my hands on a flexible riser card, got a 7850 from MSI, a normal PSU, a mini itx board and a slim ODD.Put it all together and it will be slightly bigger than the Alineware x51 and the Falcon Tiky with a proper normal PSU.

nice work, unacceptable that dual slot is the accepted norm

 

[Spooderman]

This would have been PERFECT for me :/

Single slot 7850s have been available for over a year. If you want one buy one. They are always going to be harder to find because almost no one would want one.

Unlike the Foxcon, this card lacks any auxiliary power connector. It can only pull 75 watts from the PCI-E slot. The Foxconn is a full powered 7850. Very nice!
