[QUOTE="nektar, post: 143333, member: 2039"] Από άλλο review: With hard drives mounted in cage number one, there is barely any room to fit the[B] ATI AIW 9800 Pro[/B] card in. While it does just fit, the required video card power plug is in a very vulnerable position. [B]If you own a card that is any longer, you simply won�t be able to use this case[/B]. The added problem of this arrangement in my [URL="http://www.overclockersonline.net/index.php?page=articles&num=671&pnum=5#"]configuration[/URL], with three drives, is that the IDE cables have to be pressed so tight to the rear of the hard drives that airflow from the front fan is severely restricted. Now you might be thinking, so what, unless I�m planning on using more than three drives, I�ll just use the other drive cage; while this might be an option with some power supplies, in my case this was impossible. Using the [URL="http://www.overclockersonline.net/index.php?page=articles&num=307"] Hiper power supply[/URL] I reviewed here a while back, with its modular connectors, I simply didn�t have the depth to insert the drive cage. Measuring another modular power supply I had on hand, I found it would also not allow for the drives to fit. [B]So measure any components you plan to use carefully before purchasing this case[/B]. [B]Certainly the case does have a clean, sophisticated appearance, and it does present many cooling options if you require them; however, given the depth of the case, the [URL="http://www.overclockersonline.net/index.php?page=articles&num=671&pnum=7#"]storage capacity[/URL] could be severely hampered with the wrong mix of components, and you�ll have a difficult time keeping this case quiet enough to be inaudible during quiet sections of movies or games if it�s not stationed in a console or cabinet. [COLOR=Red]Perhaps if you have a short power supply, a short graphics card, SATA-only hard drives, and don�t mind the additional noise generated by multiple 80mm fans, you can consider the LC20, however, if you don�t meet all of these criteria, you might be better off looking at a different solution[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
