Question 1

Is there any way to get 4 SATA drives mounted in this unit with little to no modification?

Accepted Answer

Hi, I have this case and currently have 2 SATA SSDs, 3 SATA 3.5" hard drives and a full-size Blu Ray drive installed. 4 full-size hard drives may be tough if you plan on putting in a full-size optical drive and have a large video card. I have everything mentioned above in my case along with a big power supply, a radiator and a GTX 770 card with zero modification. There is a place in the drive cage for SSDs, which is nice. It's a big case.

Question 2

Does the front cover stay up (in the covering position) while unlocked or does the case require the front cover to be locked to stay up?

Accepted Answer

Front cover stays up while in the locked or unlocked positions through a small magnet. Mine is in the unlocked position always, the magnet is strong and even bumping into will not lower front cover even in the unlocked position.

Question 3

Is this case rackmount able?

Accepted Answer

You might be able to do it with a kit but it was designed for a media center application and doesn't have mounting hardware or holes. I also don't believe the dementions are the same as a u2 server case.

Hope this helps

Question 4

Does this fit a full ATX Power supply or does it require a special HTPC power block?

Accepted Answer

ATX all the way.  I like this case...easy to work with, interesting way of "hanging" the hard drives, and plenty of space within.  Just wish there was a way to remove the front door permanantly.

Question 5

how tall is this case without the feet ?

Accepted Answer

it actually doesn't matter because u cannot remove the feet without consequences... the three underside front intake fans and filters would be rendered useless. unless u are liquid cooling

Question 6
