I would check out eBay. I got my 680 for a great price on there from a PC part reviewer. He only used the card to do benchmarks and a review on it, so it was basically new.

Jcole, I've seen one where he uses the game input slot for the USB connections and such. Also have seen a guy build a PC in a toaster oven

out of those id go with the Fractal Design. Lian Li's seem overpriced to me.

They are a little but come with a 300W PSU.

The fractal is not as small as one thinks. Plus no fun building 2 builds with the same case.

It's on lian-li's products page but I can't find it online anywhere. It used to be on newegg, but they have recently taken it off in the past month (I saw it whenever I was buying my prodigy in december). It was somewhere in the $200-300 range
