Has anyone ever actually seen this case? Would it be possible to mod for a full sized PSU?

What I was thinking about was maybe putting the PSU in the front where the PC speaker is and having a blow hole in the side blowing in on the CPU/heatsink.

My opinion is that (no offense) THAT CASE SUCKS!!!. I'm sure its something that looks better than that one and you could really do some things with it.

How exactly are you evaluating the case? Sure it's not gonna be good for water cooling 'cause there's no room in the thing, but as a LAN case it would be great. It's got everything a good case needs except it only takes micro ATX form factor motherboards and micro ATX power supplies. Because there are micro ATX motherboards that are acceptable I'm not asking about them, but I am asking about the possibility of installing in some way a full sized power supply.

What would really suck is carrying a full-sized tower to a damn LAN party.

inertia, why do you want to use the full ATX PSU?
Not enough juice from a micro ATX (SFX) PSU?

I'm thinking about the same thing (if you see my thread Mini Micro ATX Case)... but I think the Enhanced 200W SFX PSU should do for whatever you may throw into the small PC-42.

What I am more worried about is whether I can fit a P4 in PC-42. At least in PC-30, I heard that one reviewer said that he doubt a P4, with its huge stock heatsink and all will be able to fit. The PC-30 PSU is also vertical, and sits on top of the mobo's CPU area. I think it will be the same for PC-42...
