Chirftec Matrix and Audigy 2 ZS Platinum

[merkinofbaphomet]

I am planning on building a system in the black/silver Matrix MX case. I know the space between the door and the drive bays is pretty tight, precluding me from using some fan controllers and other case goodies.

Will the Audigy Platinum Internal I/O Drive clear the door of the MX? Or will the door be unable to close because of the knobs on the front of the I/O Drive?

Would I be able to slide the I/O drive back in the bay for extra clearance? I have neither part in front of me, so I'm not 100% sure how the whole thing mounts.

Thanks!

Bump: The Chieftec Dragon case would be close enough to the Matrix. Anyone using the Audigy 2 ZS with a Dragon case? Did Alien ever put the ZS in their machines back when they used the Dragon?

I don't know how much help this is but I have the Cheiftec Dragon case - basically the same as yours but without hles in the plastic panels.

The Sunbeam rheobus fit fine under the door and has knobs about 0.5" in depth.

It will fit.
On the dragon not sure about the matrix though.

My Antec 1080AMG, another similar case, has no problem at all clearing the Creative I/O drive.

I've heard people on HardForum saying they fit... barely, but they do.

It fits on my Antec Sonata, not sure how close of a fit though.
