Question 1

Would this case fit a standard low-profile PCI Express graphics card like the EVGA GeForce GT 730?

Accepted Answer

Can't answer for that board, and I don't want to crack open the box to check it out in more detail.  I have a Radeon HD 7700 board and there was no issue with space, so I would say it would very likely fit OK.

My only problem with this case was my own fault.  I did not realize that micro ATX is larger than mini ATX, so bigger than I wanted.  I give it a thumbs up for overall quality.

Question 2

Does this unit require just a low profile gpu or a low profile/half height card?  I see both answers on here, and I just wanted to make sure I am buying one that will fit.

Accepted Answer

Low profile= defined by bracket height.  Half height=actual height of card.  All low profile cards are also half height, to my knowledge.
This case does require a low profile card, as the bracket is smaller than your standard PCI brackets.

Question 3

Could I fit a standard sized graphics card like a geforce gtx 7600 in here?  I'd really like a small portable case for my next gaming rig

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately you need to use a low profile, half height card.

Question 4

Can this power supply be replaced with a standard microATX PSU or do you have to use a Flex PSU?  Is Flex the TFT?

Accepted Answer

I have replaced PSU's in this case with the Rosewill TFX unit available at the Egg

Question 5

I'm using this case with an AMD A8 APU. The stock CPU heatsink/fan is making the CPU run much warmer than I would like. Will an after-market CPU heatsink/fan that has the fan stand vertically, as seems to be common on AMD's, fit inside this case?

Accepted Answer

I wasn't able to get my after-market fan in with the side intact. Currently it's sitting sideways and working great, the caveat being that there's a huge fan jutting out of it. The grilling is in the perfect location for cutting out a fan-hole, but the case side is extremely tough - you'd need some kind of metal working tool to cut it properly.

Would not recommend after-market if you want to keep the side on.

Question 6

Has anyone added a water cooling unit in this case yet, and if so which one worked for you?  I am wanting to put a AMD A8-6600K Richland processor in this case but it is a 100W CPU so I don't want heat to be an issue.

Accepted Answer

I use mine as a 24/7 HTPC with AMD A8-5500K with a stock cooler. Never have a heat issue with it. Comes with a fan on the power supply and a case fan and is well ventilated. There is room to add more fans but unless you are adding a serious graphics card you shouldn't need it.

Question 7

Am I able to purchase another built in power supply for this?

Accepted Answer

One of my techs ordered it and I believe they order another one for it but not sure where they ordered it from.

Question 8

Is there any extra room to replace the power supply with this one? N82E1681 73380 63 
The measurements are 6.9" x 3.3" x 2.5"

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it may require you remove the case fan behind the stock power supply.  I've been running mine on the standard power supply with no trouble as a full time windows media center pc.

Question 9

Will this hold a standard ATX Form Factor mother board, like the P5K3 Deluxe?

Accepted Answer

It will not. MicroATX or smaller only, I'm afraid.

Question 10

Will a Mini-ITX board fit in this case?  It isn't listed in the Mobo Compatibility, but I think it will.  Other people say that a Micro-ATX case will have pins for the Mini-ITX, but I just want to be sure.

Accepted Answer

I built using a ITX so yes it will fit.
