barebones build - HDD doesn't fit????
So I thought I was smart enough to build a home theater PC after reading this thread. build-a-htpc-on-the-cheap-under-250
Perhaps I was wrong ![]() I got the Foxconn SFF R10-G4 barebones box. When I put the WD Caviar 2TB3.5" HD in it seems to bump into the power supply unless I have it sticking out further than the DVD drive which doesn't seem right because the it would be sticking out the front of the box. Are all 3.5" drives the same length? (I thought so ) Does it indicate someplace that the Foxconn G4 needs a smaller HDD like maybe one for a laptop?The Video card, BIOSTAR VA5453NH56 Radeon HD 5450 512MB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Video Card also bumps into the power supply and sticks out beyond the case. Here is the back of the case foxconn g4 rear Does some part of this spec indicate the size of the opening? "1 x PCI Express x16 + 1 x PCI Express x1" How can I find a video card with HDMI that will fit? Thanks from a confused newb |

You need a low profile video card that comes with a half height bracket.
Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100292DDR3L Radeon HD 5450 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card You are probably trying to install the hard drive in the card reader bay. It has a 3.5" internal bay too. |
