Question 1

Does this have space for a DVD burner?

Accepted Answer

I am planning on getting this case and to be truthful, I think most anyone could probably get away without any sort of DVD drive, external or otherwise.

I plan on installing Windows using my thumb drive. On my last system, I rarely used my DVD drive. If there was an ISO I had to download, I just mounted it using Daemon Tools Lite instead of burning to a disk.

Question 2

can you fit a regular atx power supply in there?

Accepted Answer

yes you can as a matter of fact you can fit a full ATX and on top of that you can take out the cd-rom tray which really doesn't even function and add a massive ATX I think the biggest power supply can fit in there

Question 3

How much / which parts of this are plastic?

Also, who else thought toaster? ^_^

Accepted Answer

The top and front sides are covered with a special material, they call it "SoftTouch" and it is some kind of plastic, soft and non-slippery. The left, right and back sides are made of steel as is in the inner frame. Even the side drive mount is made out of steel.

Question 4

Is there any plans for NewEgg to sell a black version of this case? I know there is an Mini-ITX version, but I would prefer the MicroATX version of this case in black instead.

Will hold out for a black MicroATX version!

Unforntunately, the Phenom is the BitFenix M ITX case. It doesn't come in M ATX. You could try the Prodigy or the Colossus http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811345030 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811345041

Question 5

Hi. Does anyone know if an ASUS directCU II 780 will fit on this? The cooler has an over hang over the PCB so im not sure if it will fit. I have an 11.5" 6950 reference that cant fit because of the power supply cables but a 680 10.5" reference fits just fine. Thanks

Accepted Answer

Hi,

I have a MSI N770 Lightning in the case, which has a size of:
28.0 x 12.9 x 4.9 cm (w/ GPU Reactor)

The Asus 780 has a size of:
28.7 x 14.73 x 4.06 Centimeter

So they are very close in size. The MSI N770 fits nicely into the case. The biggest issue is actually the Power Supply: The Enermax PS I had used first had too stiff cables, which pushed the graphics card away and it wouldn't work. Works fine now with a Corsair CX600M.
