Used Case.... New Questions

[gwarren007]

So I was peeking around ebay today, and I ran across this case:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...120295115392&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_fvi=1

And I bought it (buy it now) because he would let me pick it up for free!!

What is the model so I can see if an Eatx will fit.
I plan on removing the lower hd cage to allow for a 2 gpu setup.
I also plan on using a ps that faces the bottom of the case and has 120mm fan.
The side panel maybe modded for a 80mm fan where the cd-rom would go.

Found model: Antec Sx1040

I believe that is an Antec 1060 or there about. Yes, it will take the newer PSU with no problem.

I have several and I don’t use anymore due to some serious air flow issues. You have 2 80mm fans in front as well as 2 in the back.

With a full sized motherboard you will not have room for a psu on the bottom, keep in mind it is a midtower not a full tower. It will hold a standard full size board with no issue BUT not an extended server type board. You would need a model 1080 for that.

The drive bays latch into place, if you removed the bottom one you might (usual disclaimers) get a psu the drive bay area.

Either way plan on drilling holes for as many 120mm fans in the top and side panel as you can.

I might add, it’s heavy as hell but directron sells wheel kits that are an exact fit.

Make sure you get some of the mounting rails; there are two sizes, some for 5.25 inch drives and smaller ones for 3.5” drives.

Hope that helps a little

Thank you for your input, I believe I found the Model : SX1040
For clarification, I will be using a ps in the standard orientation, with a 120mm fan facing down, not just a single 80mm exiting the rear.

For the $$, I wanted a case I may make into a server some day. This will only be used for folding, and in a spare bedroom to boot. The weight will help keep it from being messed with.
