Case + Mobo + Optical Drive fit problem

[ldudeareno]

I have a MSI B450M Mortar motherboard, Thermaltake Versa H15 case and an LG 5.25" optical drive. Problem is, i can't mount the drive because it hits the system fan header. Can some one recommend a mATX case they know for sure doesn't have this problem? Would the Fractal Design Focus G work? Do i need to get a mid tower case to avoid this issue? Thanks for any help!

Yes I could, but apparently the pics need to be linked from a url to be posted. I don't have a website to post them to, first.


When the back of the drive is touching the fan header, the drive is sticking out about 3/4" beyond the front of the case. Also, in order to get the mounting holes on the drive to line up with the bracket mounting holes, the drive needs to be flush with the front of the case, which it can't do.

To those who might be considering buying the Thermaltake Versa H15...

An mATX motherboard fits in the case but the holes for cable routing will be blocked. And an optical drive will not fit. This case is meant for a mini ATX motherboard.
