Question 1

Is this a no power supply case?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is just a case. It is big enough to fit the largest of video cards though. I recently purchased it and it fits two radeon9700 series video cards and up to 8 hard drives. very roomy and quiet cooling. its ready for liquid cooling too if your going that direction.

Question 2

How many Watts is the power supply?

Accepted Answer

I use hermaltake SMART M Series SP-850M 850W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS It fit but it loud from the fan

Question 3

Does it come with power supply included?

Accepted Answer

No it does not come with a power supply. But it has large fans for cooling and very easy to work in. I think it is an excellent case and a good buy. Did I mention that I like it !!!

Question 4

Does this come with any fans ?

Accepted Answer

It comes with 4 that are installed in the case, and no others. According to the manual, the front, side, and top fans are 200 mm, and the rear is 120 mm. Front and side are intake, and top and rear are exhaust.

The side and top ones have blue LEDs, I'm not sure if/how you can turn them off while the computer is up and running, but I'm sure there's programs that could handle it; I've not found them intrusive and the go off when the computer sleeps or turns off. When you take off the side panel you have to unplug the fan from the motherboard, but I usually just set the side panel right next to the case and have not had a problem so far, or found it to be a problem. In short yes, the fans are quiet, and I think they keep the internals cool.

Question 5

Does the Side fan and the back fan come with this case?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Case comes with 4 fans total, 2 intake and 2 exhaust. The 2 intake fans are (1) on the side (blue LED lit), and (1) on the front. The 2 exhaust fans are (1) on the back, and (2) on the top. I've had mine for a year and still happy with my purchase. Hope this helps!

Question 6

I was wondering because i wanna get a new board and one of the newest amd 8 core bundles with liquid cooling. Does this have a two fan slot on top that be the required space needed for the liquid cooling?

Accepted Answer

The top piece is removable, and the 200mm fan is under that... Think of it being sandwiched between the cover and case. You can mount (2) 120mm fans in that location. It would look something like this -

Top Cover
Fan(s)
Case
Radiator
Fan(s)

I have a Corsair H100i radiator mounted inside the case, but the fans I'm using (not stock) are slightly thicker than the stock H100i fans. I was unable to do a push/pull configuration (I believe it was JUST touching the ram quick release buttons), though I'm sure you could if you got creative or used thinner fans.

Question 7

Hey guys I'm really looking into this case and have been for a while but my main thing I really want is something cool and quit... Should I buy a fan controller for it and do these fans have rubber slots so they don't vibrate like the Corsair 600t case? And what would be a better case the 600t of this case I like the looks of it but not sure on it because there's not very many videos or anything on this case...

Accepted Answer

Case and fans are very quiet. I would not bother with a fan controller. I am running mine without the rear 120mm fan (I removed the whole fan since I found it to be the main noise producer) One thing to watch for are the front drive bay covers. I found one a little loose, and was getting a very low, droning buzz. Pulling off drive bay covers and then replacing them has cured the buzz for now. At this point in time (I have had it for only about one month) I have been very pleased with case. This case replaced a Lan Li mid tower that was much noisier and very crowded with 5 hard drives, two optical drives, and a single Radeon 48xx video card. As for CPU/motherboard  temps all are a degree or two cooler with much less noise. 4 eggs out of 5 on the 'Newegg scale.

Question 8

Do I have to worry about this case overheating or anything this will be my first build?

Accepted Answer

This case was also my first PC build, it has lots of space and comes with a few large fans. My computer has an i7 processor in it and is cooled using a large after market radiator. I dont remember buying any other fans for this case other than one for the radiator attached to the CPU. I do not overclock my computer either, I personally don't see any need too because I get the performance I want out of it. Im currently running the i7 processor and a Gforce 970, as well as 8GB of ram. It runs games fine at higher settings and does not seem to exceed 70C under any sort of load or online play. These are games like Farcry4, Warthunder and Skyrim. Im more of a casual player myself, so im not too demanding when it comes to perfect graphics or clear sound quality. My first PC build is much more satisfying than any game console ive ever owned honestly, and there is still much more I can do to my build to get more out of it.

From my personal experience with my first build, this should be a fine case to start with. It's a bit pricey but it does include lots of extra space and plenty of options for upgrades or expansions later. Ive not experienced any sort of overheating from this case and it seems to have really nice airflow. If I ever decided to put in a water cooling system or more hardrives, maybe even a seconds graphics card, I'll have plenty of room for it in this case. The huge fan mounted on the window is awesome. I feel comfortable knowing my graphics card and pretty much the rest of the motherboard is getting fed fresh air directly. It feels like it lets your computer breathe better, haha. The dust filters are also really nice. They do a pretty good job at keeping most of the dust out of your PC.

Question 9

Can this case hold a 1000w psu (power supply)? I cannot tell from the images if there are mounting points/obstructions for a longer psu.

Accepted Answer

Hi, I bought one of these so I can try to help answer your question:

The PSU sits on the bottom/floor of the case and you have the entire length of the inner floor to house extended PSU's. What you see in the pic inside of the bottom part of the clear window - the PSU can reach all the way from the back of the case, to the inner drive bays.

i run  750W corsair that is 6 1/4 long, and there is another almost 6 inches on the floor of the case for longer psu's (about 5 3/4 in)

So overall the floor of the case where a PSU can sit is 12 inches long.

I really enjoy my case, I also like to drive docks on top and they actually work  :)

Hope this helps
