FAQ
  
 

Question:
Are there any hardware restrictions with the CORE-FX Case?

Answer:
The Core-FX is able to accomodate: a motherboard up to Micro-ATX, any current standard 12VATX/EPS power supply, two 3.5" hard drives, and two 80mm fans. The case has many locations for additional devices such as wireless receivers. The cover is .25" acrylic, which is highly modable. You can easily cut out openings for additional usb ports, or adhere a lcd display.

The only part that is not open to any component is the motherboard. Only a Micro-ATX motherboard will fit in this case. It does have to fit in-between wall studs. Micro-ATX boards are becoming more and more popular. DFI and Asus have released matx boards that can do sli and crossfire.

 
 

Question:
Will the any Core Caseworks case take a liquid cooling solution?

Answer:
We have not outfitted this case to specifically accomodate any make or model of liquid cooling reservoir. However, there is alot of spare room at the top of the Main Case.

  
 

Question:
This product is a more perminant solution. What happens when parts and standards change?

Answer:
This is a great question, and made us design this product the way we did. All of the computer components attach to brackets that then attach to the Main Case. If a new power supply standard becomes popular, we will simply make a new bracket that will fit in place where the current bracket fits. If motherboard standards change, again, we will make a new bracket. The Main Case will not require changing. Only the inexpensive brackets that the components attach to.

  
 

Question:
How much room is available for the CPU Heatsink?

Answer:
The Core-FX Case has a inside height of 151mm. Between the motherboard tray, risers, motherboard and cpu, there is 120mm left for a heatsink.

  
 

Question:
Since this product mounts inside a wall, are there any heat concerns?

Answer:
This was a concern for us from the beginning of the design project. The components we are mostly concerned with here were the hard drives, as they have no native heat sink built in, like the remaining computer components. This is why we have the air intake first addressing the hard drives, so they receive the coolest air first. Really, this case cools the same way a standard desktop case keeps cool. The intake and exhaust are simply pointing out instead of front to back.

  
 

Question:
What room is available for expansion cards. From the manual and video, it appears that the Main Case would get in the way.

Answer:
If you are connecting to the bottom side of the expansion card, there is room in the case behind the wall for the connectors to go. The Main Case does have a lip that will not leave much room for connectors when used in the mid and upper sections of the card. Core Caseworks has tested many different right angle connectors for VGA, DVI, coax and audio. The largest connector has a height of 1.2". We left just over 1/2" for these right angle connectors to be used.
