is it possible to use this with a PCI (not express) riser card? i was thinking of getting this case but i wondered since the riser is “all in one” and has pciex1 and x16, i wondered if i got a standard PCIe x1 riser card and a stanard PCI riser card, if it would work, since those riser cards only “rise” by 1 unit, or slot. if i were to have the x1 on teh bottom slot and a PCI on the top slot, how would i go about doing that? do they make risers on flexible ribbon cables so you can adjust where they are?

thanks. good review. pics and descrips were very helpful.

Will the new Sapphire HD4670 Ultimate with the passive cooling fins fit in this case? (using riser card):

Would a full atx motherboard fit ?, there looks to be some space between the edge of the micro atx board and the psu.

Nice review, GH.

I’m not sure I like the way the optical bay looks on the front. I know it would limit choices, but I think the case would look a lot better if it just had a slot for slot-loading drives.

Oh the HDD light and the CPU light… is it detracting while in operation? Sometimes those little LED lights seem to flash straight at ya.

Great review. Those HDD temperatures are a little concerning. Heats a killer. Looks great though. In the last picture, that DVD player with the yellow and orange label is wrecking the perfection of your setup.lol

Nice – if bluray support wasn’t so crappy in the HTPC scene I wouldn’t mind grabbing one of these. The case is very sleek :D
