Question 1

Will a Sapphire R9 290 Graphics Card fit in this case?

Accepted Answer

It should, I have an AMD Radeon HD7950 that fits in it; I believe it's 11" long. It might be a tight fit, but as long as you have good cable management then you'll have a lot of space.

Question 2

How many cooling fans are actually included with the case? Might sound like a stupid question, but i didn't see the answer in the specs.

Accepted Answer

Total of 2
120mm & 140mm 
What I did as to remove the 140mm & installed a 120mm on the top. The front has 2-120mm as well as the back. All fans are mounted with rubber screws and filters.
plenty of room  inside and screw less mounting.

Very nice case for the price.

Question 3

What is the maximum graphic card length?

Accepted Answer

A full length card will fit in this case.  But will make access to the hard drive in front of it difficult.   With a full length card you'll have about 2 inches of space to the drive in that bay.

Question 4

Does Cooler Master Hyper EVO 212 fit?

Accepted Answer

I didn't use that particular cooler, I used a artic cooler made by antec model #c20 and it fit very well and comparable to the 101 cooler master.
I know for a fact you are going to love this. Good luck

Question 5

This or the NZXT Source 210 Elite? I am planning on adding a custom case window to it later, and i want to make sure that I can cut through the side panel with just a dremel and a cutting disk.

Accepted Answer

The left side panel is steel. There is a fan mount approximately 2.5 inches from the rear edge. There are tabs which engage the frame within an inch of the top, bottom and front edges. There are no other obstructions internally. Even within the left panel removed, the case seems stiff. It looks like a good candidate for cutting to me, but I have not cut mine.

Question 6

Can the rear fan panel fit an after market liquid cooler radiator (H80i for me)? Also the place behind where the motherboard is installed, will it have space for the brackets being installed on the CPU as well?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the 220 has room to access the back of the motherboard even in the case.

Question 7

I am not seeing a clear answer to this question. I am going to use a R9 270x for my build, but the specifications say that a 230mm graphics card is the most it can do. My graphics card is 260mm. However, I have seen in the Q&A sections that people with bigger graphics cards have fit theirs no problem. Will mine fit or is there something I am missing?

Accepted Answer

I have an ASUS Geforce GTX 660 at 259 mm and it JUST fits with my CPU cooler and HDDs in this case. Along with all the wires.

I'm sure yours would fit just fine as long as you are careful of where you put your HDD/SDD (Since the slots for the HDD/SDDs can get pretty close to the GPU) and CPU cooler. Especially if you are using a usual heatsink and not a liquid cooled system as I can see that being a bit of a close fit...

Question 8

Will any of NZXT's windowed side panels from other cases (e.g. Source 210 or Tempest 410) fit this case? If so, where can these panels be purchased from?

Accepted Answer

To answer the OTHER half of the question, I, too, have heard back from NZXT support. If you browse their site they don't have individual windowed side panels for sale. However, you can contact them DIRECTLY through support, give them your mailing address and they will send you a windowed side panel. Of course, you'll have to pay for shipping and for the part itself.

"Replacement part requests not covered under the warranty (like purchasing a window side panel) are charged a flat rate $14.99 shipping fee to send the item to a valid address in North America."

Question 9

Does an H100i liquid cooling system fit in this case?

Accepted Answer

Sorry I did not put a cooling system in but the case does have extra space after I put all my component's in.

Question 10

Will this case fit a pny gtx 970?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the pny is only at 246 mm and my GPU is 259 mm that fits fine. I am sure if you were careful with wire placement you would have no trouble.
