Black Mini Cube ATX Server Computer Case YY-0221

[RedBeard]

Need advice:

Black Mini Cube ATX Server Computer Case YY-0221 is here:

http://www.directron.com/yy0221bk.html

If you look ar the rear picture, the Power supply is on the bottom. If
I get a nice P.S. (enermax) it will have a fan on the bottom (no good) is
there a PS w/ a top fan?

I want to get the case b/c it will fit nicely. I think I'll have to
mod a 120mm fan in the MB side.

Also, I run a Atlon now, but I will be gettin a P4 soon. Some cases are
listed as P4 ready.. Is that just the PSU or is it the case to. ???



thx

Another question,

is ATX 2.03 mean P4 compliant?

or is it all up to the mainboard...

I just finished building my new system with this case, and it's GREAT!. I have a 1.4G Athlon, and it runs suitably cool, although I did add a slot fan to pull warm air directly off the CPU. I have a single-fan PS; I don't think there is a great need for more cooling on the drive side unless you stack 8 hot SCSI drives over there. Isn't the PS hole symmetric? I think you could put the Enermax PS in upside down...

thx for the reply,

Where did you get the case? And at what price? I really need it with a 350w P.S.

Both. That case is ATX 2.01, which means it lacks the P4 heatsink mounting holes, but it probably won't be a problem. Many of the newer P4 motherboards (most in fact) will fit in any full size AST case. Just make sure to check before you buy.

For a PSu to be ATX 2.03 compliant it will have an additional 12V connector which plugs on to a P4 motherboard

Okay.. thx for the info.

Does anyone know were I can find this cube case cheap?
So far 150 w/o PSu is the cheapest.

I got mine at Directron, $179. It came with the 300W PS in the case, and they shipped another of the same type...
