So then, small it is most certAINLY. I'll be mounting a mockup kit today, this is an AMD kit, I cannot even remember the specs. it however is a Mini ITX kit, typically 17x17cm in size. You can purchase the most high end mITX motherboards these days that can be paired with the fastest processors and graphics cards. Since you take out the component tray, it is very easy to work with and to get your components installed. Now I had ordered a small form factor PSU, but did not receive a proper SFX power supply. Hence the one I received did not fit. We'll do the mockup for it though. 

So at the backside you will notice this weird clip that is secured with two thumbscrews:

Once removed you can use the two PCIe slots and mount a full size two slot graphics card. 

 
It is a bit hard to see due to that graphics card back-plate but at the top you can a full size Radeon RX 480 installed. That's your regular sized graphics card with heat-pipe based cooling in a dual-slot design. Now how cool is it to make something incredibly small, yet extremely powerful. That's what this chassis is all about really.
  


 As you can see, the graphics card could have even been two and a half slot in size and would still fit. As the ruler shows, you can indeed mount a 30 cm sized graphics card in there. At one point there are limitation towards your airflow though, so you will have to take that into consideration a bit.
