Just wondering what people are thinking about the rise of this form factor. We are starting to get more companies making them.

-450w psu
Alienware X51
http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-x51/pd - external 300w psu
Main features of these computers:
ITX, custom case. Higher end cpu. Full size gpu slot done by having a ribbon cable or daughtercard to run it sideways. Most of these ones above can go up to a 3770k, Nvidia GTX 680 GPU.
Pricing is typically a few hundred more than what you could source the bare parts for mostly, If you could have a case suitable.
My previous SFF was a SG04 case and felt that these cases and designs are different enough from these (almost console form factor) to have their own discussion if other people are interested. So what do you think?
