Question 1

Can you move the motherboard standoffs to support a microATX board?

Accepted Answer

Yes there are extra holes to move the standoffs to micro atx and extra standoffs are included in the hardware packet if needed or lost

Question 2

I would also like to know if this would be able to use the H100 in the top of the case? Thank you.

Accepted Answer

This case will fit the H100i but you WILL have to redrill some holes.  It has 6 pre drilled holes for the H100i which look to be perfect positioning but they are about 3mm off which is just enough to make it not fit. With a little handy work,  you can make it work.  I'm currently using a H100i in my G41! Cheers and goodluck!

Question 3

Is the side panel plastic or glass. If it is plastic, is it a cheap type of plastic or very durable? This case looks really nice for its price.

Accepted Answer

I used this case for a computer that  built my grandson.  He loves it and more importantly, his friends are impressed.  Yes, the side panel is plastic, but it is very durable and I wouldn't hesitate to use it again.

Question 4

I bought this with the msi 980 and it doesn't fit without taking out the second drive bay but I plan on doing sli. this is my first desktop build the I/O doesn't look as flush as it should be and the video card doesn't like up ether the hdmi kinda scrapes pci windows. could this be some of the standoffs aren't placed correctly?

Accepted Answer

I had kinda the same issue but, upon further examination I found that the spring loaded fingers of the back plane were hanging up on the I/O ports of the motherboard. Once I ensured the ports were properly seated, the issue was resolved.

With regards to the graphics card... I abandoned the idea at this time. I had a spare ASUS 1G card I was going to use but ran into the same issue as you are experiencing. I removed the second drive bay and able to supply power to the end of the graphics card only to find out the card is shot. I am currently using the onboard video and when I purchase a new video card, I will pay particular attention to the physical dimensions of the card and where power is supplied.

Good luck with your build. Hope I was able to help. Feel free to ask for help if needed.

Question 5

Does this case have a spot for DVD Burner?

Accepted Answer

This case has (3) external slots for an external drive. You should be able to add either (2) DVD drives and a card-reader or (1) DVD drive, internal card reader and keep (1) external slot open or you can add anything that is 5 1/4" size or a 3 1/2" (with an adapter of course) size. You do have options...3 of them.

Question 6

Can a ASRock Z97 Anniversary fit in it? The motherboard is 4.7 x 13.8 x 10.6 inches

Accepted Answer

Since the PWS is mounted at the bottom rather than the top and all of the HDD are racked turned to the side.

Makes it a nice roomy case that will fit your Z97 just fine.

But I would suggest liquid cooling rather than conventional heatsink/fan not just to reduce the 4.7" profile but it's better these days.

Enjoy!

Question 7

Does it come with the usb 3.0 drive?

Accepted Answer

The two USB ports on the front do support USB 3.0, however bear in mind that in order to be able to use these as USB 3.0 ports, you will need to be sure that you pair it with a motherboard that supports USB 3.0 to the front USB ports (if you look at a motherboard on Newegg, click on the 'Specifications' tab, then look for the 'Internal I/O Connectors' section, then look for a field called 'Onboard USB', where you'll want to make sure you see at least '2 x USB 3.0').

Question 8

Would this case be compatible with a Rosewill PHOTON-850 - PHOTON Series 850-Watt Fully Modular Active-PFC Power Supply Unit - Continuous @ 104 Deg. F (40C), 80 PLUS Gold Certified, Single +12V Rail, ATX 12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92, SL ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I can't think of a way a case and power supply would be incompatible, lol. As long as you are getting a PSU built for an ATX case, they're both using the same standards for fitup. I will also tell you that this is a fantastic case!

Question 9

Probably gonna buy this case, but I'm curious... Are the pre-installed fans able to be reversed to allow for positive pressurizing the case?

Accepted Answer

I added a new set of fan in reverse position to redirect the air flow and it works good. I would assume that the pre installed fan can be reversed, if not then buy a new set that is reversable. The fan I installed look exatly the same as pre installed fan.

Question 10

Is a power pact included with this case?

Accepted Answer

No, although there are two 120mm case fans included, (mine are blue lighted). Am using a 750 watt power supply with my system, and it fits in the bottom corner toward the back....if you have a mounting bracket for your power supply, keep it...you might need it to fit your power supply up to this case.
