BitFenix Phenom MATX Question!

TwinCalliber · 7 Jul 2014 at 10:49

Hey All,

I'm going to build a new system in the next two weeks or so, going to downsize from my full tower, and have been looking at an MATX system, because I like the size, but can keep my soundcard and gpu on the mobo.

I have been looking at pictures of the bitfenix phenom matx cases and will I be able to have a blu ray drive, my AMD HD 7950 and my Asus Xonar Essence STX in the case ok?

Cheers!

the phenom has no front 5.25 inch bays that are accessible from the front.

tbh, i'd rather get this instead:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Silverstone TemJin TJ08B-E Midi Tower Case - Black (SST-TJ08B-E USB 3.0) £64.99
Total : £74.59 (includes shipping : £8.00).

better case, and on offer too

ahh sorry I meant Prodigy! Had wrong tab open!

you may need to choose between optical drive and sound card, depending on the length of your sound card (ie it may not fit)

Ah ok, well like I said its the Asus Xonar Essence, do you think it will be ok? I have looked up the dimensions of the case and the optical drive, I think I might be left with enough, I can live without the internal drive I guess and get an external one

I have this case. I managed to squeeze in a bluray drive but it was a bit tight by the psu.

Fits my 780 and creative z soundcard fine though
