Is it possible a miniPC for VR with a series 10 card under 1500$?

[ferdy182]

I am looking to build a PC purely for VR, it has to be as small as possible and it must have a series 10 geforce card. Ideally for less than 1500$. Is it possible? Do series 10 cards fit on a mini PC?
Thanks

Huge exaggeration of what the actual price will probably be but I decided to base off of founder's edition prices since that would be most extreme.

This looks good, what about the EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB FTW Gaming ACX 3.0 Video Card, is it good and would it fit? I am not sure if the one you selected has been released already. Thanks!!!

It hasn't yet I was just going off of the mini idea.

 

[ferdy182]

Yeah it does look pretty cool indeed, would it even fit in a smaller box?

Not much more smaller. The SG13 is shoe box size but can fit a full length GPU. But air flow would take a hit.
