If you put the 2.5" drives over the mobo keep the CPU cooler under 40mm (as measured from PCB top surface to top of cooler) and you should be good. Assuming 7mm thick drives that leaves a few mm left in between for air intake - obviously any shorter you can go is going to help get air into the...

Glad you dig the case! Alright, now bear with me here: The stacker brackets don't come with that other bracket/plate for hanging drives. That's SKU "MTB100" and I don't think it's front-end available, so you'll have to work through the sales chat to get that. Should be like $10 maybe? Yes you...

We do indeed. There's a bracket that lets you hang drives on either side of the case (over mobo or GPU area). To verify that this is what you're after, take a look at the MC500 page. It's the same bracket pictured there. The SKU for that is MTB100, but I don't see it on the site. I think you'll...

Here's a quickly dimensioned view of a random board in the case, you'll have to figure out where your processor is relative to this. I also marked where the front welded flange is so you don't hit it.

Probably not much in that instance. Plus the pad would be ugly to see from the outside.. I got this, hang on a minute.

Yeah, the way you guys are stuffing these cases can really turn them into an oven/reactor core/dying star. I'm glad you identified the main culprit! Without knowing what your current layout is, I think you're on the right track finding a workable-sized fan for over the GPU to generally bring...

Looks like you're getting help on where to fit components from people who've built similar setups, which is good. Love this community for that :) Just wanted to chime in and warn you off of our riser. Don't use that with a graphics card, you're going to have issues. Though they're pricey...

More answers, because this is more fun than my actual work: Putting a vent pattern over that area was an aesthetic choice, all I can offer is that the pattern is much bigger than it needs to be to hopefully accommodate other fan positions on other PSUs. An intake fan would contribute mostly...

Going to do my best to bulk answer, feel free to call me out if I miss something: 1.) The drive mounting is a touch different in the mass production revision, which should help alleviate GPU depth concerns 2.) An HDPlex you say? Hold on to that idea for a little while.. 3.) The back fan duct is...

So much reading.. love it. To confirm something being discussed - you can move the front panel board to the other side of the case, there are two holes in the bottom of the case to mount it there the same way it's mounted by default. If you're going the custom front plate route, this should...

Totally fair. Do what you need to do to make it all fit. Yeah, if you flip the card (fan pulling from the top) you might need to ditch the support bracket, it would just be in the way at that point I think. Paired with a custom lid that sort of eliminates the two side fans as needed also...

Of course, glad it helps! We don't currently have a PCIe flex riser that I'd recommend for graphics card use on our site. The one runamok used seemed to do alright, but my recommendation is the ones 3M makes. They're stupid expensive, but bulletproof for interference and build quality in my...

Hey, Hans here! Darek pinged me, I lead/do chassis design at Logic Supply. First thing, we offer a USB 3.0 board that's a drop-in replacement for the 2.0, might work for you. Something like that? We don't get a lot of enthusiast customers, so that set of dimensions isn't really found...
