Today I went over to DSE and found the slimline CPU quite interesting. What surprised me was how it had a PCI-E video card slot!!! My question is, how in the heck do you fit a video card like nVidia 8800 series card in it?

This PC looks fairly powerful too with decent specs. Anyone used this before?

I copied it off DSE's website, thus the "CPU". I have amended the topic subject now:)

The case is very small - about 1/3 of a standard desktop computer case. Can it handle a high-end video card? Wouldn't it overheat?

it's doubtful it would have enough space or the cooling capacity for a high-end gaming card.
