Accepted Answer

Yes, it pops right out so you can use the one that comes with your motherboard.

Question 2

Is there a filter screen before the front fan?

Accepted Answer

No it doesn't , however you can buy them on this site cheap and you can screw it directly to the fan. If you are conserned about dirt/and debris, the steel front 5 and 3 inch panels for Drives is punch out and steel so it doesn't effect airflow.

Question 3

What is the max height for a CPU cooler?

Accepted Answer

I would estimate at least 11cm. I installed i5 processor plus Noctua NH-U9B cooler, no problem. You probably won't fit a cooler with 5.25" vertical fan.

Question 4

What is the maximum length expansion card that can be housed in this case? Could I use a 10.5" GPU in it? How about a 13" GPU?

Accepted Answer

This case is pretty big. If your card is less then 6 inches from to to bottom of motherboard you should be ok. Depth wise it's over 20" long. Remember however this is a rack server case. Unless you have a nice rack enclosure this might not be the case for you. It's going to give off more noise then a tower or desktop case, take up more room, and no fancy Windows to see its guts or fancy mod lights. Just a tip since your question hints at building a game rig.

Question 5

How long of an expansion card will this case allow?

Accepted Answer

it can fit some pretty large cars in there. There is a lot of extra stuff that you need to take out and learn how to mount your hard drives in different places. I mounted my hard drives in the city 3.25 and spaces and it worked great.. This is 4 mega large protools cards btw.

Question 6

Can you mount a mini-ITX board into this case?

Accepted Answer

Yes
