I was looking at this computer and I see the empty PCI-e slot, so how is the 760 gpu plugged into the mobo?

    Interesting design, but it still doesn't beat lian li's train case :P

    I don't know about that chassis, but the way you plug in a graphics card when there isn't much space is shift the card somewhere else via PCIe x16 riser ribbon, that one is around $60.  Another way is to get a ribbon adapter to go from the miniPCIe x1 slot to a full x1 (and stomach the performance losses, if any); there are all sorts of combinations out there.

    For Intel processors, 0.122 x TDP = Continuous Amps at 12v [source].

    in the pics you can see the pcie slot is empty. so no riser ribbon. I'm going to say asus is fudging the specs or developed quantum entanglement faster than google/ NASA/military coallition.

    The Gpu is in the front (note the directcu mini), probably connected via M.2 or Sata Express
