Question 1

Does this case have 2 USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0 frontports as pictured? The specs differ depending on where you read them.

Accepted Answer

This case is just as pictured...2 USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0. I like it very much. InWin does offer different variations of their product, so if you order elsewhere you'll need to verify. I don't know if that's an issue here, but worthy of noting.

Question 2

Can the power supply be removed for a PS with higher wattage?

Accepted Answer

The stock power supply in this chassis is not welded or riveted to it.  It's attached with screws like any other I've seen.  So in answer to your question, yes.  You can remove the stock power supply and replace it with another.

Question 3

Some of the reviews have me confused -- does it have a 2.5'' internal drive bay, or not? Kinda important.

Accepted Answer

Yes.  I have this chassis with a solid state hard drive, a mechanical hard drive, and a DVD reader-writer all installed.  Had no issues putting in this hardware.

The specs at In-Win show it has a 3.5 and 2.5 bay.

Question 4

I recently bought this case and installed an AMD8320 on a BIOSTAR A960D board an added a Gigabyte Geforce GT 610 graphics card. The system runs good, but when I place it into my television unit (yes i'm hooking it up to my TV via HDMI) the CPU fan starts  to run extremely HIGH. The second I take it out of the enclosed unit, the fan goes back to normal. Ideally, I want the PC in the unit, but I want to ask if whats happening and can I fix it with possibly a better fan? Liquid cooling? Or something else. Thank you for the help.

Accepted Answer

Inside your TV cabinet / Console the air does not move as freely as inside the cabinet.  I know this isn't perfect fluid dynamics,  but think of water coming out of a garden hose.  If you let it just flow naturally the water in front continually "gets out of the way" of the water behind it.  If you put a wall anywhere in that flow all of a sudden water will accumulate at the point it strikes the wall.  The water is equivalent to the air coming out of the computer and along with it all the heat.   The CPU fan moving at maximum will evenly distribute the heat more evenly if the cabinet is closed and it is force greater airflow from outside the cabinet if it is an open cabinet.

If you don't want to make a huge investment in modifying your case and CPU to move air from outside the case to inside or trying to find a small water cooler...   The easiest solution is to use the lowest watt CPU you can find.  unfortunately the AMD8320 is not exactly a "low power" CPU and in turn it has a lot of heat it needs to dissipate.

A better low noise low profile fan may help with the noise but it will not actually eliminate the heat.  I don't have a recommendation for something that can move that kind of air and be silent but there should be products out there that are much better than the stock fan/heatsink.

Question 5

can i use a m-itx board in this case ?

Accepted Answer

You should be able to,  the screw pattern for ITX is a subset of m-ATX.  (ITX uses 4 screws, M-ATX usually uses 6 but can use as many as 8)

Question 6

Is the power supply proprietary or can it be replaced if need be?

Accepted Answer

The PSU can be replaced, it's a normal TFX type.  I've used 7 of these cases so far and no PSU failures over the 6 years since (slight different case revisions but same PSU).

Question 7

Does it have 8-pin ATX 12V Power connector for CPU? (4+4 ?)
Thanks

Accepted Answer

Yes it does. I installed an ASUS ITX Z97 Mother board in it with no trouble with connectors.

Question 8

My motherboard has a fm2 socket. What kind of heatsink and fan should I get to fit in this case?

Accepted Answer

I used the stock cooler that came with the A10-7800 for this build.  3 months strong now.

Question 9

I'm not finding dimensions for maximum GPU allowances. Would I be able to fit a EVGA 750TI Superclocked 2GB (L x H) 6.70" x 4.38"?

Accepted Answer

No, from the standoffs inside the case the height clearance is only about 3.5''. GPU can fit length wise up to about 7.5'' - 8'', however.

Question 10

Low profile graphics card seem to come in two lengths. Long and short. Will this case fit a long gpu card?

Accepted Answer

no, the drive bay extends too far back
