The reason is that i have that card and i dont want to buy another one.The performance of this card is very good and i am willing to use the htpc for little gaming .
I think that the antec fusion remote max is the case i want (thanks HSC).
Do you know any online shop that sells it and ships to E.U?
I think i got mine on Ebay. It just fits my 260GTX which is also 27cm. If the power leads had been on the end of the card I would have had to remove the plate for the additional drive bays but it would have been a goer. It's really good but is a very big case.
