iTX MOBO
Maybe a short GPU?
Short PSU cables is a must!
SFF PSU maybe?

The description claims it will fit a full-size GPU and standard ATX PSU.

I wasn't saying it was the same but there's no reason to buy that shite for a laptop heatsink. I use just alcohol and it works fine. 99% isopropyl doesn't leave a residue either.

We have a pretty badass radio shack that is privately owned. He bought into the franchise back in the 70s when you could still do that. It's huge and he is cheaper than the corporate stores most of the time. He still sales HAM Radio equipment, which I would love to get into but it's so damn expensive.

cool thanks, this is going to be a pet project for me, going to load up xbmc on it - hook it up to my cable, and run steam - it's not going to be anything super impressive, but going to replace my dvr / roku, put the roku downstairs and go from there.

Doing an APU?

I have 2 iTX A75 FM2 MOBOs you might be interested in.

1 - "Slightly Used", I mean just booted up a few times
1 - Brand New / Never Used

All original packaging

Maxwell in Q1 2014, I can't wait for... This should really drive all prices down(Besides Maxwell) if specs are correct.

All you need to know without reading, this is the FULL potential of a 24SMX GM100. What will most likely see would be a cut down 22SMX GM100.

6144 - Shaders (Titan/GK110-400 = 2688)
64 - ROPs (Titan/GK110-400 = 48)
512 - BUS (Titan/GK110-400 = 384)

NVIDIA Maxwell GM100:

The NVIDIA Maxwell GM100 chip would consist of 8 GPCs consisting of 24 SMX modules (3 SMX Per GPC), 384 TMUs, 6144 Cuda Cores, 8 MB of L3 Cache (8 L2 cache’s per GPC), 64 ROPs, a 512-bit interface followed by a VRAM upto 8 GB GDDR5 operation at around 6 GHz. The GM100 is supposed to replace the high-performance GK110 chip so its going to end up in both GeForce parts and Tesla parts. It will probably show up in the Tesla parts first before shipping to consumers.

nVidia Maxwell Specs - *Alleged

I'm looking forward to this. If they're even close to what you've hyped them up to be, I'll probably sell off my two cards and get one.

Anyone else buying a new MBP Retina? I've been waiting for MBP Haswell update for 4 months now.

LOL frick no!

I don't use my laptop enough to warrant a mac price

Well.. put it this way.

My 2011 13" MBP w/ i5 Sandy Bridge can be sold for $300 less than I paid for it. It also runs almost like the day I purchased it and is structurally perfect.

Macs hold their value, no question. That is the good thing about those products. Apple also, IMHO.. make the best MOBILE hardware. Nothing beats using the track pad on a MBP.

I use my MBP a lot. Really is my main company. All the other PCs are just "hobby" items. None the less, if you're someone who doesn't use mobile computing all that much I understand.
