Question 1

I just got this case. One major problem is that the two 2.5" drive slots can only fit SSD. Mechanical hard disk is a little thicker and won't fit the slots at all. Do you have any solutions?

Accepted Answer

I actually had the same problem. I pulled an ssd enclosure out and I cut the tabs out with a drill. Works pretty well now.

Question 2

Can a regular ATX PSU fit in the chasis?

Accepted Answer

It has been a bit since I assembled the computer, but I used - CORSAIR SF Series SF600 600W 80 PLUS GOLD Active PFC Haswell Ready SFX SFX12V Micro ATX Full Modular Power Supply.

From my recollection, there wasn't a lot of room for anything bigger...

Question 3

Will the stock Intel CPU cooler fit in this case, say the one that comes with most i5's?

Accepted Answer

The stock cpu cooler for my i3 fit. I would assume the cooler unit for i5 would be similar. Give it a shot. It's an awesome case.

Question 4

Just to confirm. Does this case comes with an optical drive? In some of the pictures does not look like it but in others it does... also it is mentioned in the specs. I was not able to find any build or review on the optical drive to confirm how it looks and where is placed.

Accepted Answer

The case does not come with an optical drive, however there is a slot for one. I installed an optical drive in my case.

Question 5

are there any dust filters behind the air vents or is there some kind of mesh on there?

Accepted Answer

The case comes with two removable dust filters on the left and right side, which are really fine mesh (the normal dust filters you see on other cases).  The top, bottom, and back do not have filters on them.

Question 6

Hi, just to confirm. Does this comes with an optical drive bay? In some of the pictures looks like it does but is others does not.

Accepted Answer

Yes, this computer case comes with an external drive bay that is compatible with a slim optical drive (12.7mm or 9.5mm).

Question 7

is the handle removable?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Question 8

Does this case have liquid cooling support? If so how large of a liquid cooler can I  put inside? Will the liquid cooler interfere with a dual slot graphics card?

Accepted Answer

Hello J G,

Personally I don't think installing an AIO liquid cooler would be advised in this case not just because of clearance concerns, but also because of airflow restriction.  Slim form factor cases like this one have very limited amounts of space and a liquid cooler would definitely get in the way and prevent air from flowing properly which would be counter intuitive for a liquid cooler since the whole point is to decrease the temps, not increase them.

It might be possible if you mod the case but that will definitely void the manufacturer warranty and return policy with Newegg so do so at your own risk.  Hope this helps!

Question 9

What is the biggest best Nvidia card that can fit in this? Has anyone been able to squeeze a 1080 in here?

Accepted Answer

I have a 1080 FE in mine.

Question 10

The description says that the item can fit 2 3.5 drives. I'm looking at this for a small, low power HTPC/media server and need to have 2 3.5 drives installed. Can anyone offer confirmation/denial of storage options? PS. I can't seem to find a link to the manual to check this for myself. My build will not include a graphics card.

Accepted Answer

Yes, the case can fit two 3.5 inch drives. They are mounted just behind the lower front face of the case. They're on the same side as the power supply and the SSD install points and separated from the motherboard and attached components.
