In some chassis you can fit dedicated graphics card, but we don't sell these. Ours are aimed more towards the media centre side.
Plus it depends what you class as gaming - miniclip?

Also, if you want a PC to browse the internet, emails, and general usage, pretty much anything except gaming/video editing, a mini PC is the ideal solution. They're tiny, silent, stylish and energy-efficient

I measured the room inside a work colleaques mini PC, there was JUST enough room for a GTX 470, obviously id need to upgrade PSU, and the bus was only PCIe x16 1.0 standard, but still, would have worked. Maybe a little bit of bottleknecking at the CPU but meh. Originally Posted by LDUK

I have a smaller lower spec machine than this which acts as my networking hub. Runs my SMTP mail server, local DNS and DHCP, and external SSH -- this last means I can connect from work and securely administer any other home machine. Runs Linux, of course!
