Give us your opinion on the PC-V850

I had an interesting thought, and I will measure tonight to see if it will work. But not a lot of people use DVD drives anymore on a daily basis, the enthusiast market probably only has 1 drive at most and really only to install Windows or if they use Bluray disks. I dont think 4 DVD drive slots are needed, only 2 at the most Id say. But my idea was, will a SSD flipped onto its side fit (height wise) in the same space as two 5.25" DVD drive slots in a chassis? Im just wondering cause it may be possible to turn two of the four drive bays up top into a SSD bay that could fit somewhere between 6-8 solid state drives, assuming the height works outs. Ill measure it in a little bit and see.


My other thought, and I don't have the case to measure so hopefully you could do that, would be to see if there is enough room on the side panel where the four fans go to fit both a 25mm thick fan and a 25mm thick radiator and still have clearance for the graphics card(s) to be mounted. I think it would be a VERY interesting idea if those four side panel fans could be turned into mount points for dual 240mm radiators. But Im not sure how it works out spacing wise on the width of the chassis, as to do that it would have to be pretty fat, a lot fatter than most towers.


What will the price point be on this tower?

The 2.5" drives in the two 5.25" bays is an interesting idea, I believe that they would barely fit. The issue would be on the mounting system.

For the inner side panel the radiator and fan set could definitely be put on the top two spaces. For the bottom two spaces, the a radiator and fan set would get in the way of a VGA card.

The price point has not yet been set on it yet as we are still modifying.
