Questions about this item

Will a 413 mm graphics card fit if I also install a 420 mm front radiator?

With a 420 mm front radiator the maximum GPU length drops to 380 mm, so a 413 mm card would not fit in that configuration.

Can I use an E-ATX motherboard wider than 275 mm in this case?

The case supports E-ATX boards up to 275 mm wide; anything wider will not fit.

How many 3.5-inch drives can I install without limiting the power-supply length?

With one 3.5-inch drive tray fitted the PSU can be up to 290 mm long; with both trays fitted the limit is 175 mm.
