Yes that will work easily. Plan for the correct screw length for the top though.

I looked case and I didn't found any flaw.
Except maybe floor between first and second part...
But on this way is possible to see EVGA PSU grill.
Problem is because price of case will be huge in Europe
together with shipping and that's completely different price than on site.
But case is excellent, if someone live near hardware store and could pick up case with car than it's excellent option.
And case should stay exactly as you see on picture,
my Obsidian 650D stay from beginning on same way with side panel close to the wall.

Aha, so im not alone on that one!
I plan on putting in a floorboard that covers the PSU and drive cages entirely,
but I worry for the airflow on my HDDs if I do that.
 
EVGA doesn't have a distribution point near or in Servia?

In my country now, but because our government is stupid and don't want to remove custom taxes with EU before they become Members, that situation use people who cooperate with big sellers in Hungary, Austria, Germany, ...to make profit for self and sell us for lowest possible price without taxes and shipping. But I don't know is it possible someone to bring me 20kg cases. Other guys both some small and medium cases but I never saw something so big and heavy. For other hardware is not problem.
In my country if you go on one way than hardware is most expensive in Europe, if we choose other way than it's cheapest in Europe.

evga.tech_guyI would like to know If I remove all the PCI back plates can I mount my GPU vertically in this case as I hate looking at back plates,  when the front of the GPU is so much better.
I asked this question a while ago in this topic,
and I think I saw Slimshiesty muttering something about making custom back plates.
So howbout it, Slimshiesty? Two customers already, right here. :P


Roger that !  
First things first.  Optical drive caddy mod... then SLI mounts.
gimme 2 to 3 weeks for the caddy, then 2 to 3 weeks on the mount, give or take a few days.

Haha, why do people keep insisting on optical drives.
They have become so useless in every possible way.
Where are you even going to stick that thing?

Professionals use optical drives all the time. Ever heard of a photographer giving a CD with all the edited pictures on it after a photo shoot? Freelance pros give a CD/Bluray disc copy of commercials, credits, effects, etc. when handing their work over to clients; and since hard drives degrade much faster than CDs, CDs are the best choice when it comes to digital record keeping. There's millions of parents who like to burn photos and home movies on to DVDs/Blurays. Now I understand that if those are the kinds of things you're doing, then maybe this case isn't the one for you. I get that. I was just making a point to all the people who think that optical drives are completely out of date and antiqued. Maybe for the gaming community that's true, but for the majority of everyone else, it's just not.

The photographer I hired a couple months ago offered his work on a complimentary USB stick, so that may soon change too.
 
Harddrives degrade quicker than CDs? Absolutely not. The opposite is more likely. Ive had DVDs go corrupt in 5 years time.
 
Those millions of parents are as old as the technology and likely dont know any better, so thats no excuse.
My parents still like VHS, but that doesn't validate keeping VHS around.
 
Harddrives are more compact and cheaper by the gigabyte.
Bluray costs about 4.9ct per Gb, a harddrive can do it as cheap as 3.4ct per Gb.
Plus ofcourse a HDD is reusable countless times and more flexible.
 
I feel these feeble plastic disks only exist out of old habit..

Anyone want to sign my petition to include IDE on motherboards again? We need to make a stand on these tech companies wanton disregard for relevant features!
