I, for instance, could slip one between the hard drives and the ninja. It's a tight space, and a regular 25mm cannot fit. But untill they'd appear in Romania, maybe I'll have a different setup. It's a niche market, but it exists, therefore, people will buy them. Think of any other situations where a...

I considered that, too. Unfortunately there would lie the unused PSU cables. Unless I'd do some cuts in the side and hide the cables beneath the MB tray.
But that's a bit too much for my skills

Now then, let's focus on silence, shall we?
Aris, how well does the Zen PSU behave in that tight space?

Around 100GB would be any single platter 160GB. Take WD1600AAJS, for instance. The 7200.9 "slim" was also quiet, but had a tad metallic sound.

Unfortunatelly my last slot is PCI. I know a PCIe NIC would fit, and I do have one, but the x1 slot is up, not "down there"

I ordered an S-type clip as well as a molex->3pin adapter, so I'll have the heat sink and fan in a better position in a few days. Or you could mount the case fan on the lower position of the heatsink (without changing its position) and use a bottom-upwards flow. I use this setup on a Ninja fan (plu...

I am eagerly interested how a fanless PSU will manage to keep up with the lack of airflow in NSK3480, given there is no natural airflow in there. I too have a ZEN (the 300W part) and although there is a "now and then" airflow (when the ninja fan spins) the top of the case - and the PSU - get sensibl...

A quick question: to what extent is the last (bottom) PCI slot usable if the drive is installed in the lowest position?
Did anyone measure or try to install a card in there?
