mATX Aopen H340 Anyone Have?

I see that the cards are supposed to be low-profile. Their recommended video card is a TNT2 low-profile card. Will a Geforce2 GTS fit in this?

Have any of you fit a regular video/sound/network card into a low-profile spot?

If you do have one of these cases, could you tell what you have in it?

Thanks!

I currently have one of these cases and have the low-profile TNT2 card which I bought on the AT FS/FT forum. A regular card, unmodified, will not fit. I also built another system in one of these cases awhile ago, and managed to modify a modem (small card to begin with) to fit in, and you could do the same with the right NIC since they're low to begin with and you only need to modify the bracket. If you're going to use this case, I would suggest buying a mobo with on-board sound, and NIC or modem. However, since on-board video tends to top out at 85Hz, I would try to find a low-profile video card. The other thing you need to be careful of is that this case will not take a 9.6 x 9.6 MATX board. You need a 9.6 x 8.7 mobo.

Edit: Some 9.6 x 9.6 boards will fit; I just put one in.

I have this case. I've got an Aopen MX3S mATX motherboard with overclocked 800 Celly(@1066) in it with a modified Asus GF2 MX400. Nice little LAN party case-and now they sell it in black.

This is a GREAT case, especially if you're running a celeron or P4 setup (cooling and power consumption wise)

Low profile cards are required due to the size of the opening. You might be able to bend the bracket on an existing card, I didn't have much luck with mine (modem). If you're interested, remove the bracket that's on there now, send it to me and I'll fabricate you a new one for free (got all the tools and material at work)
