Yeah. That's what I figured when I put it together, but I thought I'd test before buying the larger brick 
. Without the discrete video card, there's no question it would be rock solid.
I guess mostly I just wanted to post an FYI for any one else looking to add a video card to their isk300-65.
Also, re: video card, the Asus GT 430 that I bought is the absolute max size I would be able to fit inside. The heatsink practically brushes the side of the case. Doesn't seem to cause any heat issues from restricted air flow however, as in the brief time I tested it, the temp of the GPU never went over 50 degrees Celcius. More extensive testing when the new brick comes in might prove differently, but I'm confident it won't be an issue.
All in all, a great combination for a kickass media player!.
