Question 1

Whats the reset button for? Please answer in detail?

Accepted Answer

I don't understand the question. The reset button is to reset the computer.

There is a power on Startup/Shutdown button, then there is a reset button.
I hope this awnsers your question?

i'm more concerned that he case still has a floppy bay instead of a reset button.

Question 2

Is the PSU standard ATX size? Is it replaceable?

Accepted Answer

The power supply is an SFX power supply.

"SFX has dimensions of 125 × 100 × 63.5 mm (width × depth × height), with a 60 mm fan, compared with the standard ATX dimensions of 150 × 86 × 140 mm. Optional 80 or 40 mm fan replacement increases or decreases the height of an SFX unit."  Source: Wikipedia ATX#SFX

Question 3

Has anyone mounted a fan on the side?
What model fan did you use?
Did you have to mod the case?

Accepted Answer

I have not mounted one but I had 2 120mm fans, I did check to see if it was feasible. 120mm fans are too big so i'd say 80mm - 100mm fan would work for you. And from the mounting for the Mini ITX mother board, the pci-e slot is in the way on the inside (back left) the powersupply is in the way inside (back right). How ever if you don't plan on using the the pci-e slot you may be able to squeeze 1 fan in there just make sure to tie up your wires properly to keep the fan from rapping against them. You would need to drill 4 mounting holes for the fan facing outward and use nuts to secure the screws. But if you do use the pci-e slot for a gpu you could mount the fan on the outside in the same place (back left) You would just have to attach a filter over the fans outward side. This is a very nice little case and a steal for the price! Hope this helps you.

Question 4

What are the dimensions of the power supply? I was curious to know if it was capable of being swapped out, and I read on another question in this Q&A that it is possible to do that, but I'd like to know what the specific dimensions of the provided power supply are to know if my desired replacement will fit. Thanks

Question 5

Will a stock AMD heatsink for the A8-7600 APU fit in this case?

Accepted Answer

It should be able to but it will be a very tight fit.  I purchased an a8-5500 that has the same heat sink since it has a 65 w tdp as well.  I had to purchase a different fan and reverse it so that it was pulling air through the heat sink and placing it back into the power supply.  I found this configuration to provide the best cooling performance.  Space is a commodity in this case.

Question 6

Is it possible to remove the entire front bezel for shipping purposes? How thick is the front bezel? Curious if it would fit in a 12x12x5.5" priority mail flat rate box.

Accepted Answer

You can remove the bezel if you're careful with the cables connected to it and get them, too.  The bezel is about 1" thick.  No, it won't fit in that size box.

Question 7

What is the size/dimensions of the case?

Accepted Answer

5.1 x 8.6 x 13 - inches 
130 x 220 x 330 - mm
(H x W x D)

Question 8

Will the PSU handle the following setup:
-Core i7 4770 (non-K) 
-1 SSD

or :
-Xeon E3-1230V3
-EVGA 02G-P3-3733-KR GeForce GT 730. Low Profile
-1 SSD

If I plan to upgrade the PSU, will standard ITX PSU fit this case?

Thanks.

Accepted Answer

With no video card, it should handle those setups. But the installed power supply does not have a good reputation. You can buy an after market SFX power supply to replace the original one. That is probably what you should do. Silerstone and FSP are two good makes that Newegg sells.
