Question 1

What color are the power and HDD LEDs on this case?

Accepted Answer

The power LED is green and surrounds the silver power button in a circle. The HDD LED is orange and is to the right of the power button.

Question 2

Any one use this case and power supply on a Ryzen 2200G build?

Accepted Answer

I have a AMD A6-7400K Kaveri Dual-Core 3.5 GHz in this. I use it for Plex server exclusively, I never use the actual OS(Win7) for media-center things. My media is in an external NAS. I leave it on all the time waiting for me to watch something on my other computer or TV via Plex app. Haven't had any issues with it since Feb 2018.

Question 3

Can it fit a full size GPU?

Accepted Answer

Actually it depends on the height. I do not think so (I had to use a shortened cover for my sound card) but if your full sized GPU is small enough definately. Traditionally, if you are talking about the newer cards (I have a GTX 560 in my other desktop) they will not fit this case.

Question 4

What is the largest graphics card this case will accommodate?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure the highest model, but it will only hold half height cards, so I'm sure is limited to something midline. You might find one or two high performance cards that will work. Just a quick look I see half height geforce gt740 cards and radeon r7 cards.

Question 5

Does this use a flex ATX power supply?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it uses a flex ATX psu.  In fact the bottom of the case has little metal stops formed into it that fit exactly a flex ATX psu.  My case came with the PSU.  It is an HEC-300-FN-1RX model number.

I like the case very much, it is solid and well build.

Question 6

Wow, almost no mention of the PSU in this thing. I'm planning on using this case for a pair of HTPCs with AMD's latest APUs. Does this PSU come with the required 8-pin and 24-pin connectors the I'll need?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it has a pretty decent power supply in it. Its worth mentioning that once you have all of the components inside, its pretty cramped. Wire management is hard in a case this small, although the end result is nice and clean once its all closed up.

Question 7

I am using this case to primarily game. Nothing too crazy, maybe not Crysis or something on max but Starcraft, Battlefield, etc. Since the power supply is usually the problem I was wondering if it is possible to rig the case to use an external supply like an xbox?

Accepted Answer

I owned one of these. Pretty fun case. The PSU is really limiting, so if you want to get more juice to your internals, I recommend buying a 5.25" bay PSU. It will supplement the ~300W from the main PSU so you can feed a beefier video card and a few drives with one. You'll have to use an external optical drive, but it's hard to beat bolt-on power like that. Hope this helps.

Question 8

Is the front fan removable via screws or is it riveted? If possible, I plan to replace it with a blue LED fan.

Accepted Answer

The front plastic panel is removable as an assembly.  Behind it, you can access the screws that hold the fan to the chassis.

Question 9

Hi:
I bought one of these 3 years ago and recently have noticed tat the computer will occasionally shut down unexpectedly - there are no errors in any of the logs. So I suspect that the Power Supply is faulty based on the other feedback for this case.
Any opinions on this?
Also, presuming this is a bad Power Supply, can someone give me a suggestion on what to replace the current one with? 
Thanks,
Michael

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are several reasons that could be happening, but a too small, failing, or poor quality PSU is one of the main causes. Do you have a discrete video card installed? If so, that may be overloading the small PSU. Almost any TFX power supply should fit. Here is an example of a better quality one at Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151090 If you'd like to get an exact replacement, Just search for "HEC 300W TFX12V Power Supply" (Newegg won't let me link to other stores)

Question 10

Where can I get a Firewire front-panel connecter and cable (to the MOBO for this case?  There's a snap-out Firewire area on the front panel, but no connector or cable behind it.

Accepted Answer

Some cases come without of Firewire, so use only on Motherboard on the back of Computer.
