Question 1

Is this case sturdy enough to handle the weight of three stacked units?

Accepted Answer

I have owned this case for ~1 year and I have stacked an Onkyo receiver (~20lbs) on the case an it has held up well.  The case is pretty sturdy at the corners and does not twist as easily as other aluminum cases, but the middle of the lid does not have as much mechanical support. Would I try stacking 3 cases...yes but I would remove the feet off so the weight is evenly distributed.  You might also reach out to Silverstone to see if they recommend a load limit. BTW the front cover is made of plastic which is another reason I would remove the feet.

Cheers!

Question 2

I cannot tell from the description: Does this case already have a power supply? If not, will it accept an ATX power supply?

Accepted Answer

No power supply is included. It will accept an atx supply. However if you have a large supply (long) it might be difficult to fit. I would suggest a modular supply if you are installing a large supply. I have a 600 watt supply that almost interferes with the ssd mounting location, but fits well. Overall I am very happy with this case.

Question 3

Will this case accommodate a full size ATX MB? Not sure since the description says Mini-ATX, and in the pictures it looks a little small for it. So i want to confirm.

Accepted Answer

This case only fits ITX and mATX motherboards. The disk drive hdd, and power supply block access for a full size MB.

Question 4

What power supply is best for this?

Accepted Answer

I would suggest one of the Corsair modular power supplies. That way you can remove some of the extra cables you may not need, and they don't clutter up this case. Space is very tight versus a regular case.

Question 5

Can a Evga GTX 760 fit in here?

Accepted Answer

I have a GTX 760 in this case with no problems. The one catch is that some cards are very long (most are OK). You need to make sure the card is under the maximum length, which I think is 12", but the manual gives you the exact measurement.

Question 6

Can you use a 120 mm water cool with this?

Accepted Answer

Yes, definitely. I am using the Cooler Master Seidon 240M (120mm x 2) right now and it's doing a splendid job cooling my AMD FX9590 CPU in my HTPC + gaming right now.

Question 7

Will the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO fit in this case?

Accepted Answer

No, too tall. I used the 92mm Noctua heatsink which made it so no 5.25 CD ROM was able to be installed.

Question 8

Can the Corsair H75 fit in this case?

Accepted Answer

I don't know for sure but I can say that the inside of this case is pretty tight, especially if you're planning on using a normal-to-large sized graphics card on an ATX mobo. Where the fans mount up near where your CPU would be is about as close to the mobo that you could get, so I don't know if the radiator would fit. I switched to using an H110i GTX and had to get a different case to accommodate it (I went with the Air 540, which is obviously a much bigger case).

Question 9

Will a mini usb receiver, such as one of the Logitech receivers for HTPC keyboard with touchpad, fit in a front usb slot with the front panel locked and closed?

Accepted Answer

I have a Logitech K400, and the receiver fits just fine in the front with the door closed.

Question 10

What types of motherboards can this case accommodate?

Accepted Answer

This case can accommodate SSI-CEB, ATX, and Micro-ATX motherboards.
