hi guys, so I'm tempted to buy an HTPC for my main rig, since I only have 1 ssd and 1 hdd, and the Nox Media HD case got me interested it supports ATX Motherboards and ATX powersupplies, it weights about 3kg but im not sure if it support my gfx card (GTX 770 Phantom Edition((Gainward))

YES.
That case is basically a regular ATX case that's been tipped over on its side. The DVD drive and Power Supply are in slightly different spots, but it takes standard parts:

1) Motherboard: ATX, uATX, mini-ITX
2) ATX power supply
3) Normal 5.25" DVD/BD player

I'm not sure why you focused on this case when you say "since I only have 1 ssd and 1hdd" because it's still a large case. If you wanted something SMALLER there are much better choices though it depends on whether it needs to supports a normal ATX power supply, and whether the motherboard is ATX, uATX, or mini-ITX.

Silverstone for example, has a very small case which comes with a 450W (or 600W) SFX Power Supply but requires a mini-ITX motherboard, and of course you'd have to carefully choose your CPU Cooler. Also needs a slim 5.25" DVD/BD player.

THIS is the one I like (case + 600W SFX PSU):

(The SLIM DVD players seem to need a mini-Sata/slimline DVD adapter which isn't included. I don't know the details, and it may not be all slim DVD drives either.)

Thanks for the reply, well basically I would like a case that is very light, this case only weights about 3KG's, my case how ever is about 8.7KG (empty), and I'd like to able to use my motherboard since it's ATX.

since this case is 3KG, will it still be lighter to carry, than my own? (CM Storm Scout)
