The optical/2.5" drive area would be by far the easiest place to mount the 3.5" HD - however, if you want to use an optical drive (remember that it's a slimline optical drive, not a full size), I can think of two additional areas to try: 1) If using a PicoPSU, the area taken by the stock PSU becomes...

You'd have to remove the 2.5" drive cage (this part is normally removable, secured with one thumb screw), bend away or cut out some metal from the optical drive cage, and drill a few holes for the 3.5" HD mount. You won't be able to mount any optical drive with this mod, obviously. Also, depending o...

The case has enough space to add at least one 3.5" HD, if the stock drive cage is modified or replaced. Currently, I have a 2.5" HD mounted on a 2.5" -> 3.5" drive bay adapter, rigged into the case with some metal brackets, long screws and nylon spacers. The 3.5" drive will be a much tighter fit, th...

I did some further testing, and it turns out that the E5200 (R0 Stepping) actually consumed more power than the E7400 I have, both at idle and load. I tried to swap the CPU heatsink for a Silverstone NT07-775, which is significantly quieter than the stock heatsink, but it was still not quiet enough....

The case is available in the US now. I just got the case today. The ISK 300-65 has space for two 80mm fans, but only 1 is included. The second 80mm fan space is filled with a plastic cover, which is easily removable. The PSU is 65 Watts, and comes with a 24pin (20+4) and 4-pin CPU power connector, s...
