I still think that a custom mITX frame and an AIO is the best option for this.

well, i was thinking with the FT03-mini, he can actually build some kind of ventilation into the backpack and can actually run the system w/o removing it from the backpack (which is what i figured he wanted to do for the backpack requirement) it's hard for me to see running the SG05 w/o removing it from the backpack.... i suppose it can be done, but not sure how the ventilation would work out. FT03-mini has enough "extra space" built in (feet and IO cluster) that allows for good ventilation solutions to be built into the backpack whereas the SG05 would definitely require exterior reenforcing frame to be welded to allow airflow properly.

You arent going to have much fall protection with a fullsized GPU and a normal sized heatsink. I personally would end up just getting an A10 and possibly adding a GPU for hybrid xfire.
