Question 1

Does the white version of this case get dirty easily?

Accepted Answer

Mine stays pretty clean other than the normal dust anything would get in the environment you are using it in. The foam filters behind the black mesh on top and front panels will start to show dust and I use a vacuum to remove most of the dust.

Question 2

will this case fit a regular atx motherboard and a reagular atx psu?
I know a lot of minis do but I just want to make sure

Accepted Answer

Hello Chris, to answer your question no this case will not fit a normal/full sized ATX board. But it will fit an ATX Power supply.

When this case first arrived to me it shocked me how small it actually is, perfect Lan rig case.

Hope I answered your question

Question 3

The windows does not seem to be clear see-through. How semi transparent is it? Can I easily see the components easily or do I need some bright LED lights inside the case?

Accepted Answer

In bright day light or in medium lit rooms you can see through it pretty clearly, it does have a tint to it, but it does not hinder your vision that much. Not too mention the lights from the inside of the case light up everything, when my computer is on in my room at night you can look into the case and see very clearly as long as the case lights are on.

Question 4

Does the psu fan pick up dust that way?  I think my psu inhales from the 120mm.
Where are the 2 2.5" drive slots?  The 2 3.5" slots are with the trays?  This case can have all drives in their proper slots, at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Thereally is a basic plastic mesh filter over the intake for the psu. Not as good as other higher cost cases.

One 2.5 mounts on top of the trays for the 3.5 drives and the other mounts to the chassis on the cable management side out of view.

Two 2.5 and two 3.5 drives can be used at the same time.

Three notes I will add though. When the psu is mounted it forces on foot of the case down because it sits on top of it leaving about a 1/8 inch gap between the foot and case. Not too noticeable though.

When mounting two more 120s in the front they sit slightly offset from the blue one that's premounted. No biggie since you can't see they from the front. I used black ones but if you used all led lit ones you will notice looking in the window. And third. The case glows in the dark when the fans are on. It isn't completely opaque. The front and tops are plastic and you can see the blue of the fans coming through. Could easily solve this issue by spray painting thw inside of those pieces with white paint.

These are just little things IMHO and will have things like this with any budget friendly case. I would still recommend this case to friends looking to save money.

Question 5

would this fit GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Per specifications page: Motherboard Compatibility - Micro-ATX / Mini-ITX. If you do not know what the MB designations mean do some research before attempting to build a computer.

Question 6

So this will fit a regular size atx psu?  But will it take one that is 7"~ long?  Really wanting to ditch my jumbo case for a smaller n cheaper setup, but would like to ride out on some of my current gear.

Accepted Answer

This should take a 7" long psu no problem. My psu is 6.3" and there are still several inches between my psu and hard drive bay

Question 7

How do you connect the case fans to the PSU and fan power switch? Each fan has it's own pair of connectors, as does the fan power switch. Do I daisy chain one fan to the other, then connect the primary fan > power switch cable > PSU? Or does each fan need to have its own connection to the PSU (in which case I do not know how to have the fan power switch be able to control both fans)?

Accepted Answer

the fan switch connector is 4 pin Molex so you connect one to another stacking them. If your fan has 3 pin MB connector get an adapter if you wish to use the switch but the switch is on or off so you wouldn't want to put all the fans on it anyway. Just extra fans to boost cooling for high load conditions.

Question 8

Does anyone know if the PSU slot is for micro atx or atx? I know most cases (atx or micro atx) still use a standar atx size, but I cant find anything on the specifics on this one.

Accepted Answer

This uses a standard atx psu slot

Question 9

How is the build quality? Others have commented that DIYPC likes to cut corners for cost with the material selection. Is this true for this case? Or do you feel that it could handle its own "portability" (moved around without breaking)?

Accepted Answer

The build quality is pretty good I just built one with a full-size graphics card in it and I have a large power supply. for a sub $50 case you're going to find the same mediocre metal in every computer in its price range but since the computer is slightly smaller then a mid tower it's actually more rigid since the metal is and is large and doesn't have much chance to flex. Plus the bumped out sheets of metal prevent it from being just a single plane that would normally flex more so I'd say it's definitely portable without breaking. I like the case it looks cool but keep in mind that it doesn't have a DVD drive which is something I didn't notice until I bought it but the Newegg site does say that but I didn't catch it
