Question 1

does this come with a power supply?

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry, this was the case I returned. No it still does not come with a PSU. But I will say this case is not worth it. I had nothing but problems and returned it. The cable management is not user friendly, it smelled of burning plastic for 2 days and the front USB ports didn't work. And it was a sad excuse for a "full size" case. Was maybe an inch bigger then my mid size I was trying to upgrade form. I returned it and just forked over the money for a better case.

Question 2

How do you open it?
I recently bought this computer and i cant find a way to open or to slide the case out.

Accepted Answer

TO REMOVE THE PACKAGING:
Use a sharp edge to cut down the center of the tape on the "up" side. Peel back the cardboard so that the Styrofoam guards are visible. At any of the four corners of the box, pull the panels (staples will likely be present) away from each other to expose the computer case.

TO REMOVE THE COMPUTER CASE PANELS:
Extract the thumb screws from the back of the case. Set the case in front of you so that it is forward facing. Firmly place your right hand on top of the case. Next, with your left hand, press against the left side of the case. While applying pressure, push the left panel away from your body. It should slide out fairly easily. Make sure that the panel doesn't fall when doing this. Otherwise, you may damage the window.

Question 3

will a Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard fit into this badboy?

Accepted Answer

Even though it says its a full tower, i had trouble putting my MSI Gaming 5 into it. It has a weird lip that makes it difficult to line up the screws and then the SATA ports didn't fit in well. It looks great, but is annoying to build in, at least for my first time.

Question 4

Does it come with screws?

Accepted Answer

I bought this case about 2 years ago, but if I remember correctly it did come with screws to mount the motherboard.

Question 5

will it fit with a ASRock H97 Pro4 LGA 1150 Intel H97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard?

Accepted Answer

I have the ntel BOXDZ77RE75K LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard installed in mine with a little bit of room to spare, I think it'd be pushing it. it is a really great case though. I would highly recommend it for others.

Question 6

Does it have a cable management area and how much room(I cant stand lose wires)?

Accepted Answer

Mine had six fans and I suppose it would have been enough to keep the interior cool but a friend of mine landed on it snapped the plastic front cover and I feared it may have damaged the on and off switch. So I dismantled it and bought a new Rosewill Thor. Honestly I like the Thor better. But I never had the chance to use the DIYPC to judge it fairly. As they say " you get what you pay for ".

Question 7

I'm having trouble wiring up the fans. This is my first PC build. Up to that point, things have gone well enough, but the fans are a confusing mess. Does anyone have any tips on wiring the fans?

Accepted Answer

The fans each have a plug that can be hooked to the motherboard, or run through the fan controllers as they are wired. The controller plug is labeled power, and has red, yellow, and black (four wire connector to hook up to a plug from the power supply). Individual fan wires are red and black.
The controllers, (switches located on top of case), can be hooked to a four pin plug from the power supply. Each fan can also be hooked to a four pin adapter
if you choose.

Question 8

What are the monitor ports?

Accepted Answer

Monitor ports are determined by the Motherboard and video card you install.

The case does have 6 slots on the back for installed cards. I installed an XFX R9 280X which used 2 of those 6 slots, the graphics card had 2x DVI ports, 1x HDMI. This case makes it possible for me to have 3 such cards installed.

I hope that answers your question.

Regards,

Question 9

Will this case fit a 2.5 inch SSD?

Accepted Answer

Yes there are a few different docks for hard drives, you should be fine to slide an SSD in there. Might be a little loose, but I don't know if that bothers you. Plenty of space in there either way

Question 10

We installed a Z270 Gaming Motherboard into the DIYPC Gamemax-BK Black Dual USB 3.0 ATX Full Tower Gaming Computer Case with Build-in 5 x Blue Fans.  Fan1 (front pair) and Fan2 (top pair) are pre-wired to the fan control switches on the top.  I cannot find anywhere to plug in the 5th fan (back of case).  Also, there is a plug (molex) labeled power that I can't find a home for.  Note: the MB has connections labeled SYS FAN and PUMP FAN 1-4 however each is a 4 pin connector while the fan cables are 3 pin connectors. So, do I just ignore fan 5 and the power cable?

Accepted Answer

Typically you can get a converter to use a molex plug for a case fan, as for the molex plug, if it's coming from the power supply then it's fine if it goes unused. However if it's connected to the case near where the fan controller is then you will need to plug in a molex cord from the power supply to it if you want the fan controller to work
