    I use that case for my work computer! It has a ryzen7 and RTX 2080. I had to hack the front USB to connect it with a modern mobo header, but it works…

          Does your fan not have its front shield or is it just a bad angle? If it doesn’t I’d suggest you put it on, from experience those fuckers can break skin.

            It doesn’t, no. I accidentally put it on crooked when assembling it and bent it when trying to correct my error to the point that just taking it off was the only logical solution.

            This one doesn’t break skin, though. In fact, my cats have accidentally gotten their tail into it several times and reacted with only slight annoyance.

            To put it another way: a toddler could stick their head into it and not cry when it hits them, it’s THAT good at stopping gently when it encounters resistance 😁

        It’s upward inside the drive bay, using a single 120mm fan and rad, then I perforated the case’s top sheet metal with a new grid of holes for outlet airflow. Definitely not amazing cooling performance but hey. I had to slice the CDROM drive in half to make room for it… the floppy drive actually works but not the giant CDROM lol

        I haven’t seen an FDD header on a motherboard since my P6T (with an i7-920). And even then, it wasn’t worthwhile to use it.

        Do you have a usb-fdd adapter? Or just a USB internal floppy drive?

          I had the WORST luck out of those. I had a dozen zip disks go bad and 1/3 Jaz drives.
