This is really cool, it'll be my top choice if I ever build a HTPC. Too bad it's sparkle though, I've heard mixed reviews about them

I was thinking it would be awesome for my brother's SFF case:

Then I remembered it has a crappy 200W PSU that's specifically designed for the case.

I imagine the clock speeds on it might be somewhat reduced. I had a 9800gt version of this that worked fine, although the 8800gt I replaced it with feels faster, although I only used it for GUI.

Looks like a Micro ATX PSU would work in that

I was kinda bummed when I saw him put OSX on it, but it looks like he's got Ubuntu, Mac OSX, and Vista on it.
Regardless, that's THE best mod video I've ever seen.
I wish I had half the tools that guy has

Are you kidding me I raged so hard at that vid IMHO it looked cooler before the mod. Stealthing the parts inside would have looked better.

Setting aside the superb work put into both the video and the mod...
By the end of the video the entire thing is gloss black, can't see inside it. I don't see a good reason to stealth the I/O ports since this appears to have been meant to be a fully functional PC.
While I wouldn't want a mod of mine done in the exact same way(especially NO OSX(sorry Apple peeps)) I think it was an amazing mod.
