i was looking for the STC-01 but nobody seems to sell em. got the 830 evo instead.
where did you get yours man?

get frm last year pc fair, dont think much unit available d...

830's space is ok for me lo

i'm also thinking get the 832 or 830 evo too..........and even the silverstone tj07 or 9 ........but after discovering the the floor vacuum feature i pull back..........haha

btw i found the fan filter of the stacker really good, it definately kill my vizo CFM down to 60%, need some fan with really good pressure to get air flow

but inside will be clean enuf

Guys would the 8800GTX fit in the CM5 without taking up all the space?

yes. it can fit according to MaximumPC

what a really stupid method done only by pasting pics of the layout on the casing pics



here's my two points for it

1st:


see those rear i/o panel slot

a high-end mobo, ASUS P32NE-SLI motherboard, which has a maximum measurement for an ATX Board (30.5cm x 24.5 cm)...

why the hell there is still some space for the rear i/o panel





2nd:



An ATX motherboard that has a measurement of (30.5cm x 24.5cm) will use the out-most screw holes

example:

ASUS P5N32-E SLI [Link]


measurement: 30.5cm x 24.5cm

will use these screw holes




Gigabyte GA-G33-DS3R [Link]


measurement: 30.5cm x 21.0cm

will use these screw holes




Gigabyte GA-945P-S3 (rev. 1.0) [Link]


measurement: 30.5cm x 19.0cm

will use these screw holes



see whatever your motherboard measurement is, all ATX or mATX mobo will use the up-most screw hole but not in the Maximum PC pics

if the mobo pics are the same scale with the case pics (the screw holes on the mobo & the case are within the same position then only the copy pasting mobo pics on the case pics is relevant) like this:

we should read all the posts cos some people have really installed the gc in the case. we shouldn't just read the first post cos it's not accurate.

Even if can fit in the card but the routing of the cable would be a headache of all time... since it's running dual PCI-E 6 pin connectors...

On safer side have to remove the HDD cage and move the Hdd to the optical drive area for more airflow from the front intake to the graphic card coz this babe is one of the hottest card in the list as well ...

It's not Maximum PC magazine's mistake ler. U can c the pic being used is copied from newegg.com. Those pics r from the forum members oni. I buy Maximum PC mag every month n it's 1 of the best mags around.

hye...
im an owner of CM C5...

juz wanna ask... is there any chance of making the C5 btx style?
modding it i mean...

juz thinking...

tq

ya ka when i look at the pics, my mind already stating this web site is crap & don't bother to read more my mistake then

agreed, still wonder how can it be fitted?

hehehe

with modding, anything can

doing that will resulting the right transparent side panel side will be useless

anybody done it before?

lot of ppl done it on others case...

I think u should be ask ianho gt done it b4 onot!!!

It would be easier to change a casing to BTX style if it has removable motherboard and rear plate.

i think it possible for CM5.......since most of the things inside are identical (left and right), but u might need to drill out all the rivets and refit it.........

i understand that... but im using the CM C5...
im not using any other case...

might wanna try it own my own 1st...

i dont think it has... thats why i ask...
the answer may be on the post below...

i guess u are correct...
just need to find the time and tools to do it..

tq anyway...
