What motherboard do you have in there, MrWhippy? Looks like a mATX one - it's not a Foxconn, is it?
yep, it's a Foxconn 6150K8MA-8EKRS. was originally looking for a mATX case for it, but for the money the PC7+ was just too tempting. and i'm not sorry i went with it.
with regard to fitting this motherboard into this case, the only couple of issues i've had are: -
1) there's only one sys_fan connector on the motherboard but two meaty fans in the case. don't think i can live with the sound of 12V 120mm fans long term (and yeah it is a low frequency whoosh i'm talking about which i also think is due to the holes in the guard rather than fan noise per se, not loud but audible and just a little annoying) so i guess i'll be going for a fan controller at some point (or a volt mod).
2) the positioning of the single sys_fan connector on the motherboard is such that the front fan will reach it, but it's a stretch and sits across the PCIe slot. if i wasn't using the onboard graphics, i doubt it'd reach.
these are not major problems though.
oh yeah, wish i'd have fitted the cpu and Freezer 64 Pro to the motherboard before mounting the motherboard into the case. the lack of removable motherboard backplate, combined with the lower PSU bracing rail made it a bit tight trying to get my fat fingers in to clamp the lever fully down. did it in the end though.
