Question 1

what type (form factor?) of power supply fits this case?

Accepted Answer

The mounting bracket supports any ATX power supply, you just have to be careful of the length of the PSU. I am unsure of maximum length. I do know that a Corsair CX430M or CX500M both got as I have put those in this case.

Question 2

Can a micro motherboard be installed instead of a mini motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Aaron, it will depend on the location of the mounting holes on the micro-motherboard.  The I/O panel will probably fit alright, if the mmb has its own faceplate.  The space allocated for the I/O panel is standard.  But i dont know about the location of the mounting holes.  The floor of my case only has four holes that match those on the mini-motherboard exactly.  Maybe you can get someone to let you match them up to one another.

Question 3

Please excuse my question as I do know that this is a MITX case, but is at all possible to fit a full size ATX (MSI Z97 PC mate) board in this case. I am having a very hard time finding a small case for this new board I have purchased already? If not does anyone have any suggestions as to what is the model# of a VERY small case for my board to use as a HTPC? Thank you all.

Accepted Answer

negative. Only small case you are going to find for that board is a slim long case like the nMEDIAPC Black Aluminum / Acrylic / Steel HTPC 6000B ATX Media Center / HTPC Case

Question 4

Can I fit a Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H motherboard in this case ?

Accepted Answer

No, you cannot. Notice how the case specifies mini itx form factor. Your motherboard says micro atx for this atrribute. This is a motherboard size specification.  It can also apply to power supplies as well. In this particular case it can fit atx power supplies but only limit itx  motherboards. So if you like this case, look for the form factor size of itx  while picking a motherboard. Inversely if you like that motherboard look at cases that support micro atx motherboard. Newegg has filter options while you're searching on both of these sections. BTW just a heads up, if you like this case, it will fit atx power supplies but watch the depth of the supply, I used a corsair cx series supply in here. It fit very well, and if yu catch them on sale or with a rebate they are very budget friendly

Question 5

Can you put an internal DVD drive into this case or is it too small?

Accepted Answer

Yes it has a 5.25 bay. Although what I did was order a bracket that holds a slim DVD and two 2.5 in drives to give me more storage. However to answer your question a 5.25 in DVD should fit fine provided its not too long to make cables more difficult to connect.

Question 6

How are the stock case fans?

Accepted Answer

The fans are good and fairly quiet. I did add a third 120mm fan to cool the HD's. I didn't have a problem with cooling I just do that to be cautious. I use this as a Jukebox to serve up about 4TB of music for my home entertainment center.

Question 7

Could this case fit two Radeon R90x Graphics cards?

Accepted Answer

Probably not going to fit two of any graphics card. 
One, Mini-ITX boards generally have one PCI-E slot.  This is a Mini-ITX case.  Two, if you found a Mini-ITX board with two slots, the power supply takes up quite a bit of space inside the case.  There's a gap between it and the side with enough room for a normal size graphics card, but if the hypothetical second slot was more towards the middle of the board  you'd be out of luck.

Question 8

Will a gtx 980ti gpu fit OK in this case??!!

Accepted Answer

I don't have that graphics card but the case is very long and can fit a long graphics card. It also can fit thick graphic cards that occupy two slots.

Question 9

Is the 80mm fan removable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is.  There is also a slot to add a second 80mm fan if you wish.

Question 10

do the drive cages come out? i would like to install a front rad

Accepted Answer

Judging by the pics, the drive cage is riveted in place. That tells me they are not meant to be removed... easily :) If you are handy with tools and modifying cases, or if you want to be, check out some videos on youtube about removing drive cages that are riveted in place.
