Question 1

is the interior space enough to allow running 2 video cards in SLI? how is the airflow? i have water cooling on the main cpu atm will i need it for the video cards as well?
thanks!

Accepted Answer

The case is really spacious. Depending on the height of your heat-sinks, you ought to be able to mount two cards, but you might have to get creative with your wiring. The only problem I had with my case was mounting my drives. The layout is different from a standard tower, and there is a steel mounting bracket to slot 3.5 drives into. my cords weren't long enough for the placement I had originally intended. So, I had to unscrew everything, including the bracket, more than once to find a configuration that worked for me.

Question 2

If the LCD display is not standard, what is currently in the space for the display?

Accepted Answer

Actually the LCD display is standard. It comes with an LCD small screen mounted right above the SD ports. What does not come standard is the programmable MCE LCD module, which would be installed inside the case. Without the MCE module, the LCD just remains blank during operation. The photo makes it look like an ugly grey digital watch face, but mine is quite dark and just looks like a tiny, glossy, black-tinted window.

Question 3

Does this case have space for a video card 11.5" long?

Accepted Answer

I opened my case to verify if a long video would fit. If you can place the video card in the first PCI-e slot (farthest right slot when viewing from above) you will have just enough clearance fora long card. Any other slot is a no go due to the angles of the case.

Overall, this is a nice case. It looks really good sitting in the living room and most people don't even know it's an HTPC. They think it's a vintage radio.

If you do decide to purchase this case, order the digital front display (sold separately).

Question 4

Does this come with the LCD display?

Accepted Answer

It does not, I was sad to find out.  But the aesthetic quality is still really great.  Even though it's hard to build inside the case I'd say it's well worth it for the sheer shock and awe quality it has ;)

Question 5

can I put antec liquid cooling kuhler 920 ?

Accepted Answer

I own this case, and my answer is:

maybe.

The fan port in the back is for a 140mm fan.  So, I'm not sure if you'd be able to fit the 920's 120mm-type rad/fan array there.

What I can answer more definitively is that it's my impression that the 920's rad/fan array would not foul or hit a typical motherboard if it was placed in the fan port in the back.

Question 6

I have this cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler (newegg Item) will it fit? Heatsink dimensions: 120 x 79.7 x 158.5 mm (L x W x H) and fan dimensions: 120 x 120 x 25 mm

Accepted Answer

Hey Salil S,

This case has plenty of room for your cooler. I can't remember specifically which one I have in mine, but I think it's a little larger than the hyper 212 plus and I have room to spare. I think the only limiting dimension you'd need to worry about would be (depending on your motherboard) if there is enough room for any heat spreaders your ram may have, if they'd fit under that heat sink.

Question 7

Is this case can fit the close loop liquid cooling?

Accepted Answer

The closed loop cooling is a tricky one.

On the back of the case is only a single 140mm exhaust fan.

However the front 2 grills that you see are able to house 92mm fans, unfortunately though the filters are stapled to the wood & you'll have to use short wood screws to mount it to the case without breaking through the front of the case.

In Short Yes if you're willing to do some mods to get a non 140mm fan for closed loop working.

Question 8

does this have any extra places for fans? Also will I be able to fit an MSI Geforce GTX 660 ti graphics card? It's about 10.5" long.

Accepted Answer

There are no additional provisions for mounting fans.  Only the one at the back.  You should be able to fit your graphics card in this case.  I have a 260 that is 10.5" long and it will fit.

Question 9

What are the size restrictions for power supplies?

Accepted Answer

This fits all power supplies, however if you get a power supply longer than a standard atx power supply you will be blocking one of the 120mm fan mounts.

Question 10

Do you know if this case available from any other sellers?? ADC....

Accepted Answer

Not that i have found. I own this case and want to purchases another. But everywhere i went it is out of stock. I don't think the company makes this case anymore.
