Question 1

Would you recommend this for everyday computer use? I am using this to house an AMD APU-System. And on the note of built-in 300W PSU, I am intending to use this case for my partner's school computer so she won't push the system to its limits, I hope. Her computer will only have the essential parts to run a computer so there's nothing too sophisticated. Thanks in advance!

I've been using these cases for the past year or two for the 30-50 office computer's I've built for my company.  They were all core i5 using Intel MBs.  I'm not familiar with the AMD line.  I just built one for my wife last week with an ASUS MB (still core i5) and I had 2 problems that I never had using the Intel MBs:  the power supply only had 1 of those 4 pin black/yellow connectors and the MB needed 2, so I had to use an adapter; the second problem was that the processer was a little out of position so the fan didn't fit through the shroud correctly, so I just didn't put the shroud in.  Computer has been working great for a week now with no problems.  Otherwise, these are great cases.  I highly recommend them.

Question 2

What size CPU fan/cooler can fit in this case? I'm getting the latest Intel chip and need to keep it cool.

Accepted Answer

No limit to the size of the CPU cooling fan, just keep in mind you will have to have a low profile video card

Question 3

Should I be worried about graphics card compatibility? I'm looking for low form-factor bedroom computer that can play Diablo 3 and emulate Smash Bros: Project M. So I don't need to store a Horse-GPU in here, but I'd like it to have some graphical oomph.

Accepted Answer

The small form factor power supplies may be your downfall. I have about 15 of these cases and we mostly run Dual monitors, w/ 3d modeling software using ASROCK mb's, and E3-1245v cpu's. Some of them have an extra video card to allow 4 monitors. No problems. At the price point it's not a huge risk.....

Question 4

What connectors are available from the power supply? Hoping for 24+8 but my gut says 24+4...

Accepted Answer

20+4 mains, 4-pin for the CPU 12V. 3 sata, 1 molex and 1 legacy (floppy) connector.

Question 5

Is there a way to fit in 1 SSD drive with 2 3.5" drives?

Accepted Answer

Yes, under the drive cage bay is another spot for a 3.5 hard drive. you will either need to use a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter or just screw into one side of the drive.

Question 6

Hi,

I am wondering if this case will fit the "Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes"?

The cooler comes up as a suggested item for the case, but from my measurements, the cooler doesn't seem like it will fit.

Thank you.

Greetings!

In a word, no - it's size and orientation prevents it from fitting into this case.

The case is designed for the CPU/FAN combos like INTELs' i5 series and the power supply has the capacity for any regular style CPU fan and any 4-slot Motherboard - I've used two, one an ASUS P75 B88 H61 and an INTEL i5-BE45 H61 couldn't tell you the true number - the board was bad and had to be sent in for warranty - but got another one that was their latest/later model for their i5 series.
In the two cases I've got, there is a plastic insert for a plenum style ducting if your motherboard has got the CPU centering for it - else it can be removed. 
BEST ADVICE? and for ease of assembly take out all the ductwork - remove it for initial fitting and burn in - then decide if you want the plenum ducting in there - for in my case - even a heavy monitor if it's for a desktop - would tend to distort the case and affect spacing clearance for the CPU fan.
It's a real nice case - only drawbacks are the plastic ear tabs for the front panel to chassis clips easily break. But once assembled, it's quite sturdy and holds up well. 
Can't use it for a wheel chock, nor should you - it does the job and I like the styling of the front Bezel "blue" - HDD is AMBER and Power BLUE lights are ok - POWER switch and RESET are a bit close together but with the POWER LED light being as bright as it is, you can always use it as a night light to help you find the right switch. 
Can take a HDD underneath the front panel, CD/DVD for the 5.25" and even a RAID drive or a FDD style MicroSD/Flash/USB booter for the 3.5" drive bay. 
Once you find the spacing forward of the chassis for the mounting of the drives - the front panel and bezel fit nicely. No issues. Original power supply does a great job and if you need more cooling the case has a spare mounting for a side panel exhaust fan - better for the desktop than the vertical mounting which would block the side panel airflow.
I like this case!

Question 7

Could you guys post the video cards that you have gotten to fit in here?  Some are saying standard cards won't fit, and some are saying they do.  It would be easier to just see exactly what you've been able to make work.

I'm hoping to fit MSI N760-2GD5/OC G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 760 in there, think it will/won't work?

Thanks for all the answers people have posted, they've really helped and I'm hoping to make this case work for me.

Accepted Answer

This is a low-profile chassis.  It will not accomodate a full-height video card.

I recommend the MSI N750ti-2GD5TLP GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Hope this helps!

Question 8

Hello, first let me tell you what my project is. I want to downsize my HP Elite mid-tower into a slim case to use as a home theater PC. My graphics requires a 350W PSU or better.

I really like this case, but I would need a compatible 400W PSU that fits this case. I'm not familiar with the PSU's form factor and can't find a viable replacement on Newegg.

Will you lease help me find a 400W PSU that is compatible with this case?

I will purchase both items! Thank you very much and I look forward to your reply.

Kind regards,

Hi Michael,  my needs didn't dictate a larger output power supply but a quick browse on the internet searching for "SFF Power Supply" did return some ideas.  I am not where I can get a look at my PC today and won't be able to say if the form factor is the same and it will fit this case, but Shuttle makes a SFF 450watt power supply.  I don't know if Newegg carries that brand but you might even call Newegg and ask them to look through their inventory to see if they have replacement power supplies for this case, and if so, what output rating they are.  I would be interested to know as I know one day this power supply will possibly fail and I will want to get one with more power capability.  I hope this helps?

Question 9

Is the power supply in here a standard ATX size, or proprietary size?

Accepted Answer

This case does NOT use the standard ATX P.S.  It requires a MicroATX power supply, easily available on NewEgg.

Question 10

What are the outside dimensions?  Those should have been included in the bulletted list.
