Question 1

Where is the SSD mount?

Accepted Answer

It is on the very bottom of the case floor.  I purchased an SSD Adapter.  I have used this one a few times for my customers SSD's.  I have built many system builds for customers with this case because of the construction of well it is made and Newegg has an excellent price point for this case.  One thing I also do is purchase an extra 120mm case fan for the front of this case.  Other than that these system cases have been excellent for system builds.

Here is the SSD Adapter brand name & information:  SABRENT 3.5-Inch to SSD / 2.5-Inch HDD Bay Drive Converter (BK-HDDF)

Question 2

What size fan can be mounted in the front?

Accepted Answer

Been awhile since I bought this case, but I'm fairly certain all of the fan mounts were the same size as the supplied fan - 120mm.

Question 3

Will a 10.5 inch long GPU (pcie 3.0) fit in this case?

Accepted Answer

Yes, according to the manufacturer's website video cards up to 320mm (12.5 inches) will fit.

Question 4

Need outside dimensions?

Accepted Answer

While I can't give you exact inside dimensions I can tell you I managed to fit an ATX motherboard along with two GTX 670 GPU's and fill every fan slot with a 120mm fan. If you decide to mount a hyper 212 CPU cooler you won't be able to fit the second fan on the side panel.

Question 5

Is the front USB 3.0 pass-through or is it a header to connect to the mobo?  I am seeing different answers in the feedback.

Accepted Answer

The front panel USB 3.0 is a mobo connector. No option for a pass thru. Just bought this case (did the build) the week before holiday.

Question 6

Where do I get more screws for the motherboard?

Accepted Answer

There are collections of parts-screws available for sale, and I found correct sizes for many cases in those.  Often, local computer fix-it shops have tons of screws and bolts they give away to anyone who asks.  Also... I sometimes purchase "self adhesive silicon or rubber bumps" for extra stand-off protections.

Question 7

The schematics show front-fans are screwed onto the case-frame.  Once those are removed, can all 3.5" drives be slid out thru the front?  (What a great thing - no more dragging drives in and out over a motherboard's cabling!)

Accepted Answer

Yes, they can be. You should be able to push drives through the 2 spring stoppers which are on the right side of drives bay.

Question 8

Where can you buy parts like the locking mechanisms for the drives.  It has several more slots but no locks?

Accepted Answer

Newegg should have them if not their are several Suppliers that sell Drive Rails..and Drive Adapters

Question 9

Um i just got mine and it comes with a clear fan not a orange cougar... Anyone else get the same issue?

Accepted Answer

Mine was fine, suggest contact manufacture.

Question 10

Has anyone tried mounting a 240mm radiator on the top? Are the holes spaced for one and is there room with the motherboard sitting so high?

More specifically will it fit an h100/i?

Accepted Answer

The motherboard 'sits too high', indeed.  In fact, the standard 25mm-wide fan will be close to the edge of the motherboard.  I found the RAM release clips to be very close to the fans so that, if maintenance needs to be done on RAM sticks (swapping in, adding), the fans made that more difficult.  A radiator's fans would overhang these clips but I might be able to reach 'under' them with a small screwdriver or pry-stick and release the RAM, but how do I ensure those snap back into place?  ("Put more pressure on the RAM stick as I insert it!"  Yeah.  More pressure.  grrr)
