Question 1

Can a standard ATX power supply fit in this chassis? Specifically 17-139-026	PSU CORSAIR|430W CX430 R

Accepted Answer

absolutely, this case is actually closer to mid sized when it comes to the actual dimensions. It just fits microATX motherboards only. As for specifically that PSU if its not any different from the majority of PSU's out there then you're fine. One thing I will add is that due to the HDD mounting area location, if you plan on having fancy cable management with a modular PSU, it is quite tight in there and it makes cable management hard

Question 2

Does this fit a full size graphics card? I'm thinking about running a gtx 880.

Accepted Answer

Full Size graphics cards can be surprisingly different in size, much too varible in my opinion.  However, I have had two different full size cards in this case and they have both fit and worked well.  It can be a little cramped, but nothing that can't be managed.

Question 3

Can you fit a liquid CPU cooler ? Planning on intel i5 Gen 4 ~85 watt CPU.  Thanks Will

Accepted Answer

Yes you can. I added a liquid cooler to mine it fits nicely. The rad and fan work well mounted to the top vent.

Question 4

Confused about the drive specs.  The listing sates 3 external 5.25 but the pictures from the manufacturer list 1 external 5.25.

Which is it ?  Is the NewEgg description incorrect  ?

Accepted Answer

While it is true there are 3 5.25 bays, the two on the bottom of the case are basically for hard drives. When you remove the bay covers there is a case fan behind the covers and in front of the bay. The fan appears to be screwed in to a plate so I suspect the fan can be removed but that may open up other issues. I wound up just putting in one DVD player. It is a good case and I am happy with it. It just may not meet your needs with that limitation. You may also want to talk to In Win directly. I used an Asus Z87 M/B with the Armor Kit. I had fit issues with other cases and they were very helpful and friendly to deal with in trying to solve my issue.

Question 5

I am building a system with the Asus Gryphon Z87 M/B with the Armor Kit on it. I purchased the Rosewill Line-M case. Normally the board fits in the case because the top edge sits just a tad behind the edge of the 5" bays but with the armor kit, the board is just a bit too thick to fit that edge behind the bays. Would you know if this case will allow the M/B to fit? If not. would you know of a mini case that will fit that board?

Accepted Answer

I bought the Gryphon Z87 as well, the motherboard fits just fine in the Dragon Slayer. Although I don't have the armor kit, I do plan on getting it in the future. The board is a bit large, but it does fit in quite nicely. I'm fairly sure that the board will still fit in the case with the armor on, but I can't say for sure.

Question 6

Would a RAIDMAX RX-635AP power supply (ATX) fit in this MicroATX Mini case?

Accepted Answer

Comparing the NZXT HALE82 dimensions to the RAIDMAX RX-635AP, there seems to be slight variation. Having said that, I believe most power supplies will fit most cases because of the location of the screw holes. Meaning, you could have 2 differently sized power supplies (like these) but the screw hole location and distance will be the same. So, if you used a smaller power supply, you would just have small gaps between the case and the power supply but it would still fit perfectly fine because of the screw holes lining up with those on the case. A lot of the comments on your power supply mention using various sized cases and no issues, so I think you should be safe.

Enjoy! It's an awesome case. I didn't notice if your PS was modular but it'll definitely help. The case does have some really good cable management options too.

Question 7

Is there enough room for a crossfire setup?

Accepted Answer

I would say that if you can find a micro ATX crossfire mobo, then yes. Barely. Honestly, I used this case in a bare bones build for my father in law, so I didn't even put in a single video card. In a crossfire build, the card that sits at the "bottom" of the board will be very close to the power supply tho. Might cause heat issues if not well ventilated.

Question 8

I want to install two DVD burners.  Description and Spec says there are three external 5.25" drive bays, but the pictures of front panel and interior seem to show only one 5.25" and one 3.5" on front panel.  How many 5.25" external drive bays are there and where are the three 5.25" front panel bays located?

Accepted Answer

There are two bays at the bottom of the case, for a total of 3 5.25", but they are situated such that longer optical drives plus a longer/larger power supply would not go together well. Most drives now are shorter and should fit fine but I recommend installing your power supply last if you use the lower two bays.

Question 9

For the bottom two bays, is it possible to put in a hot swappable bay?

Accepted Answer

The bottom bays are designed to fit any 5.25 drive. as long as your hot swap drive fit in this are I see no reason why it wouldn't work. You will have to remove the HDD mounting block before doing so. It simply slides out the front

Question 10

How many fans are included in the case?

Accepted Answer

There are four fans in this case. There is a 200mm on top, the 120mm in the rear, a 200mm in the front at middle of the case and there is a 80mm in the front at the bottom(this one can only be seen if you remove the two cover pieces).
