Question 1

product discription says it comes with the LCD display ... but further on it states its optional and not included ... which one is it?

Accepted Answer

The included LED display is a generic non programmable blue LED.
I believe it just says Media PC or something to that effect.
A programmable LED which can display various PC info is available as an option. There is more info about that one on the nMEDIAPC website.  I would suggest reading the reviews before deciding to spend the money on the optional LED.

Question 2

The description says both "Front Display" and then later in the Overview that the LCD is "optional". Which is correct?

Accepted Answer

It's a LCD display like you would find on a stereo, accept you can program this one to display things like mode, fan speed and temperature. I opted not to buy it because it's a computer and everything I needed would be on my monitor. The LCD had bad ratings

Question 3

Does this front panel lcp option will take up one 5.25 spot i.e. will it  go on dvd spot?

Accepted Answer

I'm not completely sure what your question is asking, but it seems you are asking if the LCD Screen is taking up an additional 5.25" slot. The case I received has an LCD built in (it only displays "HOME THEATER PC" when the PC is powered on) and is behind a strip of clear plastic that stretches across the front of the case with the power and reset buttons, USB ports and Audio ports. There is no easy way to add an additional 5.25" slot or 'DVD' in its place without MAJOR modifications.  The documentation seemed to suggest perhaps the LCD could be replaced with a more involved display, but I don't know any more about that. The case is of great quality and finish, if you can fit everything you need in it. I love the case and it is exactly what I was looking for. Good luck with your PC build...

Question 4

Can the LCD screen be removed to create a 3.5 in. external drive bay?

Accepted Answer

i don't think you can do that

Question 5

how big of a cpu cooler can this hold? would a hyper 212 be too big?

Accepted Answer

The cooler width allowance will depend on your mother board. it will have to fit between the IO, the ram slots, your expansion cards and the edge of the board.  Nothing in the case infringes on the motherboard so you have  about 4 1/2 " from the top of the CPU to the top of the case.

Question 6

Will my GTX 680 fit in this case?

Accepted Answer

I am not sure how long that card is but, I have a radeon r7770 in mine with an msi h77ma-g43 mb the graphics card blocks 1 of the pci-4 slots because it is a double slot card. i hope this helps
