That will all run but...

you will need to remove the bottom HDD mount and snip a second gfx card slot. You will then need to locate the HDD at the top but there still should be room for the SSd at the base.

Not sure about the shuriken big, I only got the standard version and it was a tight fit but my gigbyte board has poor cpu placement.

If he gets the black version of the q07 then he will have to resort to popping the 4 rivets off the case to unmount the hard drive caddy. What i did for a customer was buy the 5.25 bay mount which could hold a slim optical drive and a 2.5 hdd in there.

The Red version of the case must be an updated version of the original q07 as the hdd cage on the bottom was held in by 4 screws.

Done a few of these builds already and they are nice little cases to house a little beast.

I have an ATI 5750 in my PC-Q07. I am now contemplating putting a palit GTX 460 in there as they are only 190mm long. The hardest part is keeping the rig cool, (it was fine with an i3 at 3.6ghz and ati 5750 at 800/1350) but I now have an i5 750 and that is getting hot! I am currently adding a top and side fan to improve airflow

Thanks for that. Having read your post I'm not sure as I wrote what I did as I knew it could support a 5750... a well. Thanks for correcting
