Hi,
I am looking at getting a Silverstone Tech. Presicion PS05B, my current CPU has a Titan Fenrir fitted, does anyone know if this case will be wide enough to take the height of a Titan Fenrir?
Cheers

Personally I don't like that case and it's got a couple of things that put me off it.
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/nzxt-g...-31993-12.html
A sticky out card holder, I really don't like these, mainly because you see them on low cost cases, it is a cost cutting thing, the rear panel is made in one piece, cases where the IO and card slots are recessed are two parts riveted together. My main issue with it is it's a cost cut that is taken with other cost cuts namely thinner steel, by making the rear panel out of a single flat section greatly weakens it and leaving the rear bendy.
the other major issue is the top fan mounts and the pressed out mesh, this would make a lot of sense if it didn't have the hollow plastic top bezel, however they've basically wasted that top bezel, if you're happy to mod and cut out the mesh this is not an issue, just a silly and basic mistake on silverstones side.
that said it should fit the Titan Fenrir inside, it'll be tight but should fit.
If you're looking for a cheap case then I'd sugest looking at the casecom k5-9388 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/239238 which is an improved version of the KM-6788
If you're looking for a small yet roomy midtower case then look at the coolermaster haf 912+ http://www.scan.co.uk/products/coole...r-case-w-o-psu
It's slightly shorter and slightly taller than the ps05, however the big key to it is the width, at 230mm wide there's clearance for very large cpu coolers, 200 mm fans front and top (for high air flow at low noise) and still has over an inch of space behind the motherboard tray to make hiding cables easy.
I can tell you that at only 190mm both the casecom and silverstone get very tricky to hide cables behind the motherboard tray, and any more than a couple of hard drives and thing get even worse.
Currently I have 4 hard drives in my casecom and the cables make putting on the right side panel a two hands + a foot job, bucause of the mass of sata and power cables trying to escape.
PS: if you don't like the look of the HAF 912+ then how about the coolermaster storm enforcer http://www.ebuyer.com/product/262675 it's a bit more in cost but it is the same internal frame, basically it's the same case but with a different front bezel and window side panel.

Sorry photobucket links broken
Thanks for the info mate.
Ironically I have a HAF 932 case at the moment and was looking for something a bit smaller, the PS05B looked ok for the job but as I said didn't know if I would get all my stuff in there and whether cooling was any good.
