Does Anyone have this case ? Can it Fit a 3,5" hdd ?

[filthycatbox]

I've just built my htpc with this case. It's listed as only taking a 2.5 but there is some breathing space where I have a 2.5 SSD.
I need to take it apart later, so I'll try my spare 3.5 HDD for you to check while I'm in there.

the Lian li pc-q09 would have been a nice htpc case
if it could be used with the Big Shuriken...
but no go..

The drive cradle underneath the motherboard is not wide enough to accomodate a 3.5" HDD.

The SSD in those pictures is a perfect fit. It is 69.9mm wide. A 3.5" drive is 102mm wide.

No. I don't hear it and it sits on the desk next to the monitor. The case fan was a bit too noisy for my liking but you can just remove it.

If you are in the UK/Europe I know of somewhere doing the PCQ-09 (not F flex version) super cheap right now, only £65. It's a little bit shorter than the Flex version, and quieter obviously.

Grabbed a red version and they are pretty sweet case.
