Question 1

What type of power supply does it use?  ATX or Flex ATX?

Accepted Answer

For others - according to manufacturer website for this case, an ATX PS/2 PSU is allowed, which has dimensions of 150mm (W) x 86mm (H) x 140mm (D), however they also say PSU's with depths longer than 140mm are okay as well but this will depend on your configuration and how much room you're willing to sacrifice.

Question 2

Can i install a raid card? i saw it has a hot swap backplane, want to make sure i can run the card's cables to the individual drives.

Accepted Answer

Hi Bryn, This case can support a Mini ITX motherboard. It can support a single PCI-E Card, according to the product description on the Silverstone Website (Link Below) it is compatible with expansion cards up to 11" Long and 4.38" Wide. I never built this case up so I do not have any experience to speak of. I had planned to put a HighPoint RocketRAID 2720SGL 8-Port SAS 6Gb/s PCIe 2.0 x8 RAID HBA and use a HighPoint Internal Mini-SAS to 4SATA(SFF8087 to SATA), 1M (3 feet) Int-MS-1M4Sthe drives cable with a SATA multi power cable. Let me know if you have any more inquiries.http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=452

Question 3

Is this case really that bad at thermal management?

Accepted Answer

I would say it has an "Air Direction" management problem. The two intake fans on the side of the case are supposed to push air onto the Hard Drives. The problem is there is nothing preventing the air from going around the drive chassis so there is no air flow over the drives.I found a post on Lime-Technology's forum which describes a fairly easy/cheap solution to fix this using a piece of cardboard. https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=43802.0Since I'm using a passively cooled CPU this solution made it so my to the CPU and Motherboard were running hotter. So I made a slight modification to the Cardboard by cutting a 1/2" slot that matched the Motherboard in length and that has proven effective in keeping the components happy. On average my Hard drives are running between 80ºF-95ºF and the CPU and Mother board and CPU in the 105ºF-125ºF range.
