Or you could just leave out the discrete video card and save $40 and a bunch of heat.

wait a sec, onboard i3-2100 video is unlocked when paired with an H67/P67 chipset no??
agree for the Heat factor, i use a fanless card and its running pretty HOT..
But its %100 Silent...
However, im not inserting the onboard i3 video builds in my little guide yet...
i'll wait till they get their new bridge out which supposedly will fix the 24Hz issue...
Cant wait!!

im active on many forums and all complain on the 24Hz problem...
and i've read reviews about the issue on many sites...
sucks because that issue was there even before the new sandy bridge and INTEL knew about it..
they just didnt want to fix it...
i got hopes for their next Bridge generation... iVY bridge if i recall good..

I've got that graphics card and you can't put it in a case with no fans, and even if you add a fan you can't put anything in the PCI slot next to it or it will get to 106 degrees and turn off.
At the moment i've got a 120mm fan blowing directly on it and it stays around 60 degrees.
That case has no holes, or fans near the graphics cards - So i'd recommend a quiet fanless one or one with a bigger heatsink to save the trouble!
Also thats a low profile case and the gpu doesn't ship with a low profile bracket!

Eskro - I am not sure if I understand the issue with the GT210. Is there enough room to fit this in the case for this build? Or do I need to order a low profile adapter?
Or is the low profile adapter only needed if I try and run fans to it? Assuming this is true and I go without fans, have you experience any heat problems other than it just flat out being hot?
Also since its been 5 months since you put this build together, is there anything you would change at this point? Any mobos come out with onboard graphics that fix the 24 mhz issue, or am I still better off with the GT210.
Thanks a lot.
