A nice case. Any case by thermaltake is quality. you wont go wrong.

bdwoolman · 02-13-2005, 04:46 PM

nice case. Do not know what motherboard you are planning to put inside it, but double check that it is compatible with the standard. 20 - pin ATX power supply that comes with this case. LGA775 motherboards, which have an ATX form factor, require an ATXE power supply, which has 24 pins. This is a new enough problem to be worth mentioning. I mention it because I got stuck with a PSU I couldn't use on my board. Don't laugh.

A great case, pretty much any case made by thermaltake is great IMHO

jeffr · 02-13-2005, 06:10 PM

I have an Abit KV7 board. Will this board work in there?

bdwoolman · 02-13-2005, 06:42 PM

Most Probably you are okay. but I do not know for sure. Check the boards documentation. Or just count the pins on the boards main power connector. If there are only twenty you are good with that ATX case.

i jsu ordered this case of newegg

ooooOoo crap i never thought if my mother board woudl go in it. would a abit av8 uguru go in it. i thought all motherboards fit in any case

timbit · 02-13-2005, 09:49 PM

this isn't really a question of if the motherboard will fit in the case. atx mobos and atx cases will fit together. it's the power supply that you have to watch, and only if you are using a newer motherboard. if you have a board with a 24 pin power connecter, you need to have a power supply with a 24 pin connecter, as bdwoolman was saying.

jeffr, you are good to go. your mobo is for athlon xp, and it uses the normal 20 pin connecters. i wasn't sure, however, if the case you linked to actually came with a psu... might want to look into that.

I agree with timbit you are good to go with your case and the motherboard fitting inside of it. Almost any case can fit just about any motherboard inside of it with no problem at all.

The Thermaltake case does come with a 420w PurePower PSU which is a very nice PSU. Enjoy!

Yes you should be fine. And yes you should probably start your own thread.

Thanks everyone. Thanks Acid Klutch! Just one thing though, it doesn't look like the psu comes with it? Could I be wrong? Please take a look.

Yep, that case is sold without a power supply...you'll have to buy one separately. Make sure you get a good one...never skimp on the power supply.
