Consider the realease date of that card- Palit gts450. They are much smaller now:
Sapphire HD7750 low-profile
Club 3D HD7750
Zotac GTX 650 low profile
They are all about 17 cm in length. Just about a Mini ITX board.
Of course there is interest. ME Ever since I saw this little bugger. That's my home modding project. But I just want a scaled down version of Silverstone FT02- most beautiful case evar Good thing, good people have it on SketchUp for me.
I know it's been around awhile but their cooling system is how everyone should be doing half-height cards, or every video card for that matter. There's zero advantage using heatsinks with axial fans that blow hot air everywhere INSIDE the already cramped space of a SFF chassis. If I built a system like that it would be much smaller, very optimized, and it looks like I'd have to make my own GPU coolers too. Those 1U PSUs are also an issue.
I'm going to keep playing with one of the other designs because I'd still like to build the smallest ITX chassis I can that supports high end gaming. Right now it's 11.6(w) x 10.75(d) x 2.5"(h), has 300w internally and full height double wide GPU up to 10" or roughly a HD4870 sized card. I'm killing time while waiting for parts.
