Question 1

optical drive ?

Accepted Answer

The optical drive fits vertically on the door side of the case, just hovering over the motherboard, there is a removable cage that houses 1 optical drive and 1 hard drive. Half hight RAM is recomended to sure clear the underside of the optical drive. From the front of the box the drive looks hidden and there is a small bar like button that activates the open and close function with a bezel that hides the actual drive from view. The case itself is a heavy rolled steel and the power supply that's included is of good quality.

Question 2

Does this case accept full height video cards in the slots or does it require half height?

Accepted Answer

Full height. But there is not much room past the top of the bracket. (the L part), the PSU fan is also loud. I replaced the entire PSU with a seasonic SFF unit.

Question 3

Is the power supply 24 pin?

Accepted Answer

yes it does ,it is a nice little case and power supply if you do not over tax it

Question 4

How many SATA connectors comes with the PSU? I've been looking for one that comes with 3, but most affordable one's I've seen only seem to come with 1 or 2.

I intended on putting in a 120gb SSD, 1TB HDD and a DVD burner, but I may just drop the SSD if I can't find one affordable enough.

Accepted Answer

The supplied PS has 2 SATA, 4 Molex  and 1 FDD power cables.  If you've checked the reviews, folks have been critical about the quality of the supplied PS.

I replaced mine with a Silverstone Tek ST30SF 300W SFX PS. The Silverstone is not modular and comes  with 1 PCIE, 3 SATA, 2 molex and 1 FDD power cables. It's a better quality and much more versatile PS.

Question 5

Will the TOPOWER TP-1687BB-300 Black SECC 0.8mm MicroATX Desktop Computer Case 300W SFX Power Supply be compatible with the ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 HDMI USB 3.0 uATX AMD Motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes, It will fit. That's the motherboard I went with.

Just an FYI, the size of the case is nice, and it's nice looking, but the space is super tight. I had trouble fitting the hard drive and DVD Rom. The DVDROM kept opening on its own. There just isn't any space to hide all the cables, and they're pretty long. Also, it doesn't use a standard Power supply. It's a really small one. If/when it goes out, you're going to have a really hard time finding a replacement.

Good Luck.
