not bad. would like to see it stuffed with a matx board and a few more HDs.
A 92mm should fit without an issue. It's only like a 0.5" difference in space and I'm pretty sure it can take 0.25" on each side. I'll double check that
<<Edited for space>>
w it bugs other people quite a bit.

Thank you for those pics and info, Willister. Very good coverage and presentation. They should prove very beneficial for those interested in this case.
10" from the back of the card (10.5" including the metal bracket) to the side of the hd case. Considering you need about 1" to get the power in (if you plug it in after you connect the card), I'd say no more than 9" of card.
Is it possible to run an H50 from the CPU to the front fan? Concern is length of tubes 1st, creative HD cage work required second. I have a 2xSLI X58 setup in a massive CoolerMaster 840. Going to purchase a micro X58 board and gut the 840 into a box like this so I can haul the machine to Lan events (the 840 is gorgeous...it's just too big). I know I can get all that in an A05 (built one for my son)...but not sure here. The tube length is 11-12 inches.
I'm really interested in max height for a cpu cooler, I like this case, but I dont think my current thermalright hr-01 (approx 160mm) for my 1055t would fit..
Snap, I knew I was forgetting to check something for this. Perfect timing too. Since it's the weekend I should be able to borrow my friends True 120 (believe it's the same height as the hr-01) and get an idea. I'll also measure distance from the cpu with no cooler on.
Where did you hear about the GTX 560 on the 25th??
True 120 didn't fit. From the top of my cpu (i3-550) to the inside of the side panel is 6 3/16" (~157mm) where as the True was 6 3/8" (~162mm). Those measurements should be within 1/16" (~1.5mm) (I tried to get it as close as possible) but even just looking at it, it's obvious that it won't fit without modding. It's close, but just barely doesn't make it. I suppose if one could trim the top of the heatpipes then it would just barely clear it, but otherwise you're gonna need to look for something a little shorter.
What size fan fits in the back?
I exchanged pm's with him last night. 80mm obviously fits without modding, 92 will need a mod for the new holes, 120 is too large, refer to this and this picture to see why. As I said in my post when those pictures were taken, it MAY be possible to get it in there, but you're cutting out a lot of the case and you'd probably need to shave a bit off the fan too.

Sorry to hear that mosher. Hope everything works out for ya.
