Has anyone managed to fit an NF7-S with an alpha pal 8045 in this case considering there is very little room between the edge of the motherboard and the upper support bar and the heatsink slightly overhangs the motherboard by about 2-3mm ? This is a Cheiftex Matrix MA-01SLD http://www.chieftec.com/products/Matrix/ma01wd.htm (Silver Version) I think it will just about fit but I need confirmation please. The reason is because i've ordered one of these for my server from ebuyer (couldn't resist £30 for a full tower) and its got an alpha on an nf7-s.
Just got one of these myself, dont know about the Alpha but theres certainly a lot of room in it. http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?p=600857#post600857
Looks good, glad I ordered the silver over the beige one, would it be possible if you could get a picture of the area underneath the psu by the top rear fan for me would you, I can't seem to find one on any reviews, I would be very grateful if you could.
I have a dragon with a similar bar and an alpha mounted on a shuttle AN35N-Ultra... same situation, the alpha hangs about 2-3mm off the top of the board and it just fits.... i'll feel better when i've got my water cooling re-mounted
Thanks a lot yodasarmpit, those pictures were exactly what I wanted the alpha should fit fine by the look of it, nice wc setup btw . Also thanks cderalow looks like I won't be having any problems then, just have to wait until thursday for ebuyer to get it here .
