Compatibility & preservation notes

E-ATX/ATX/microATX/Mini-ITX board support; check PSU shroud, bottom fan and GPU thickness together.

Retain proprietary large front fans, fan hub and dust filters. Confirm GPU cabling and bottom intake clearance before placing on carpet.

  • Record the complete model/SKU, serial/date label, board and bay/backplane identifiers, accessories and manual revision before disassembly.
  • For tower cases, measure the installed board width, drive cage, radiator/fan stack, GPU and PSU cable bend as one build; the advertised maximums may compete.
  • Keep original brackets, fasteners, trays, feet and front-panel parts labeled with the chassis. Do not force components into modified or incomplete specimens.
