Hi all,
I am considering purchasing this case:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103014&Tpk=xclio%20a380plus

My concern is the clearances for both the power supply (I want to use a Corsair 1000psu)
and a heatsink for the I-920 (I want to use the Dark knight Cooler)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233029&Tpk=N82E16835233029

The quoted size for the case is 8.7 inches wide (keep in mind this is an updated model compared to
what is on the website.)
The problem is that I can plainly see the front fan is wider than the case itself.
So I have no idea whether the quoted size refers the the front fan housing or the case itself.
If it refers to the front housing, than the case itself will be narrower, and the Dark Knight CPU cooler
may not work.

If anyone has this case could you tell me the interior width of the case itself, or the clearance from the
motherboard the side fan?

Also does the top fan limit the length of the PSU?

Thanks for any help.

Dan

I don't have the case, but the standard is that measurements always represent the thickest portion of the product, or at least the most "significant" part. so that 8.7 inches is probably the width of the actual case itself.
