Question 1

Does this one glows at night?

Accepted Answer

It has three fans with blue led's. it's about the coolest case I've ever seen. I learned the hard way you have to be careful about loading the drive bays first, motherboard later, and know you won't be able to go back to add things to the bays easily. you have to remove the motherboard to get the side panel off to add other things to the drive bays later.

Question 2

is it compatible with i7 quad MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming Intel motherboard?

Accepted Answer

The Logisys CS888CL clear case is set up to recieve a full size atx  motherboard. I bought the same case three years ago and built a system in it. had no problems installing an atx mobo. It is a little narrow, about 7.25 interior width, so you might have some trouble if you try and install a very large aftermarket cooler. However, I did install a full-size video graphics card with no problem.
The case looks great all lighted up. It allows you to spotlight your system and create a truly unique build. The screws holding the side panels on are small so they can be a little tiresome to remove the side panel often, but I found that I really didn't need all eight screws provided so after a while I just left some of them out and it worked fine. Of course with everything showing you do need to vacuum out the dust periodically (of course you should do that anyway.) 
Due to an unfortunate family circumstance, I lost my first build so I am building a second pc using this same case. 
If you want to light up your build this is  great case at a very reasonable price. You might want to consider building a small box/cover out of black illustration or mat board in the bottom 1/2 inch of the case to put all the wires under. that cleans up the look substantially.

Question 3

Are you pleased by how well the case is built? Is it flimsy? Would you buy it again?

Accepted Answer

I was happy with the general appearance the the case but their are quite a few design flaws that I'm not sure that I would choose this case again over. First everything is held together by screws that are a 1/2 in or smaller and most of them screw into plastic so I was A LOT  of stripping happening just about everywhere on the case, Second for some reason they decided to mount the power to the top and since the only way to mount it is through the back its just a very unstable assembly. And lastly there isn't any light controllers with 3 bright blue fans that will most definitely light up any room. (Not a con for everyone but worth noting). So case point; I was not pleased by how well the case was built, I feel it is flimsy by design, and I would my likely not buy again.

Question 4

If it doesnt have the 120mm mount for the hydro fan, will the 3.5ghz 4770k cpu burn out and die inside this case?
-thank you.

Accepted Answer

I am using a (1 x Intel Core i5-4430 Haswell 3.0GHz) with a Cooler Master Silent Pro M2, and 2 regular case fans.  The computer does not get hot.  I use by computer for games, creating web pages, and writing and testing programs in java & vb.

I like the case and will get another one when I replace the wifes computer.

Question 5

How well does this case promote airflow?

Accepted Answer

It's not bad really. There's plenty of room in the case. But of course an extra fan is never a bad idea if  you want to put more than one video card in there or whatever.

P. S.  The case is pretty tricky to work with, panels don't always line up so some GENTLE prying  may be in order. And changing drives requires disassembly of the whole case since the motherboard attaches to the case wall. But it looks really nice when it's all done. It's not a beginner case for sure.

Question 6

what would you use for a power supply?

Accepted Answer

Case itself fits a regular size power supply so really depends on what your equipment calls for. I have a 750 watt power supply which is used to power my gaming hardware inside the case but you can go bigger or smaller.

Question 7

Does this tower have a back panel to rout cables? And is cooling an issue seeing as the fans are only 80mm?

Accepted Answer

There isn't any kind of cable routing on the back panel, or any in general.  So far I haven't had any kind of cooling issues with mine but I use a liquid cooler for my CPU with dual fan/radiator. The fans give a good push pull for air flow with their location. But additional fans wouldn't hurt

Question 8

Does this case have room to add bigger/more fans? I am unable to see for my self sense it is clear.
-Thank you

Accepted Answer

The case comes with 3 pre installed fan.  These plus my zalman 9900 are more then enough to keep the case cool.  As with any case, the screw holes are pre set so you wont be able to use bigger fans unless you only hold it with 1 screw.  You could add more fans by custom drilling into the case but that would be silly.

On a side note, this case is a pain to setup as the plastic "trays" for all the drives are very think and the provided screws are not nearly long enough to work.  I tried buying some screws at the local hardware but they didn't work either.   I ended up having to push the screws down through the plastic to get it together.

Question 9

hello i am going to get this case for my pc http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... and all i wanna know is if my hardware will fit i have a micro atx motherboard (asrock a55m-hsv) a geforce gtx 650 gpu and a 550w psu just also woundering if the 3 80mm fans would be enough cooling for my system if not could i install a water cooler in this tower thanks a bunch guys?

Accepted Answer

I'm using a Micro ATX P67 Performance Motherboard and it fit perfectly along with my GeForce 450S GPI and a 550W PSU.
As far as cooling goes, I have two intake fans (front/side) and one exhaust fan (back) which are working well for cooling my system. Please keep in mind, I am not overclocking but temperature has not been an issue.

*Also as a side note. When opening the case, it opens from the front and back. Please do not try to remove any of the top/side/bottom screws as they will get stripped. As a good rule of thumb for this case, you should only remove the flat-head screws.

All in all, its a great case for the price!
