Perhaps I'm reaching the boundaries of stupid or insane, but why haven't graphics makers allowed people to build their own video cards? A video card is essentially a miniature computer- so they should let you buy cases and the GPU, and the Video Card Motherboard. Imagine that!

Even funnier would be if we had miniature PCI-E slots (mGPCI-E! :) )


Am I insane?

Yeah, insane and plus too much hassle trying to build it yourself. Most of us mainly go with the buy-the-card and play. Why would you want to build one in the first place anyway when you can always buy it?
