Question 1

Is it possible to simultaneously have a graphics card installed with the ribbon, and solid state drives mounted directly behind it on the motherboard tray (and thus occupying one of the PCI slots)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is just enough space for 2 dual height graphics cards. Though not recommended because one of the cards will not have breathing room. SSDs should be fine.

Question 2

can a standard ATX 12V PSU fit in this box? say vertically stand inside.

Accepted Answer

Depends on the size (depth) of the PSU.  The PSU sits vertically in the front of the case,  just above the caddy for the 3.5 HDDs. There is a bracket with standard mounting ATX PSU and it hangs downward.  It is not exposed on the outside of the case.  You need to open the case glass to access the PSU power switch.  The wall plug power cord has to be threaded from inside the case to a port on the rear face.  Important to remember that the PSU fan does not vent to the outside.  That may factor in your cooling decision. 
I am using a Corsair AX 760i.  There is plenty of clearance for the connector cables that attach to PSU, HDDs, and GPU.  A deeper PSU (like 1200W) will reduce that clearance.
IMO.  This is a beautiful case.  It took a long time to build the first one.  There is no manual to explain assembly but I also bought a second PC-07 for my EATX board.

Question 3

Does the PC-06SX have mounting hole for ITX motherboard too, or just MATX?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately it does not. The PC-05 case is similar and has the ITX board mounting. It is a time consuming case to work with and most of the screws are very small. It does look nice when its finished.

Question 4

Can you take out the HDD cage to fit larger graphics cards?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the HDD tray is removable and it looks like it would add several inches of extra space for a longer graphics card.

One thing to note is that this may only help if you are using the ribbon to move the graphics card off of the motherboard. If you are putting the graphics card on the motherboard directly, depending which slot you are using, the power supply will get in the way.

Question 5

with the 310mm size for graphics cards is that with the drive bays removed or is that then in place?

Accepted Answer

That is with the drive bays removed. There are three mounting places on the back and not visible for the drives to be installed. There is a bracket that is configured for 1 SSD and 2 HDD or 2 SSD and 1 HDD. I was able to use that bracket and the drives become completely invisible. So all you see is the motherboard, VGA card and Power supply. Very clean looking.

Question 6

i want to have a graphics card and a wifi adapter in the case it has 3 or 4 pci slot which means that it will fit fine however i have noted that i will need to fit a pci x1 cable from the motherboard to the area needed can this be done?

Accepted Answer

Shouldn't be a problem. The PCI riser cable for graphics card won't block anything.

Question 7

I saw this case on youtube using a double SLI.  will it be possible to get to nvidia Titan blacks in this unit?  Would microATX would work best for double SLI?

Accepted Answer

The motherboard size wouldn't make a difference. However I'd recommend a LOT of airflow or water cooling considering how tightly packed things can get in there.
