Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

Components for such a small computer have to be carefully selected due to possible size discrepancies. Or smoke forums in English, there are topics about 304 If you are ready to tinker to get a sweetie in the end, then the case will please you very much. Got pros: A small case that can accommodate a tower cooler, a dual-slot graphics card, and an ATX power supply. Assembled a small, powerful and quiet computer. Has some cons A video card with a length of more than 170 mm and a power supply unit with a length of more than 160 do not fit into the case at the same time, which the manufacturer warned about everywhere. As a result, the user needs to look for either a short video card or a very short modular power supply, or install a regular 160 mm PSU and get a bunch of extra wires in a confined space. If you have straight arms, you can put a 160 mm modular PSU - I turned the power supply 180 degrees and fixed it with an aluminum corner with a couple of bolts. I really had to drill a couple of non-standard holes in the bottom of the case and buy a short power cord extension, but it was worth it - such a power supply mount is better than the factory one.
