Question 1

Does this have a bay compatible with a 2.5 inch SSD?  Also, can the Corsair AX1500i fit in the power supply section?

Accepted Answer

Hey, Yes to both. If I remember correctly it came with bay trays that you can attach a 2.5 SSD, which I did myself. The power supply will fit from reading the description. I have a ATX12V / EPS12V installed in mine as well, so you should be good.

Question 2

Does this case have removable filters on all intake fans?

Accepted Answer

The bottom has two removable filters that cover the bottom, the top fan has a filter mounted on it (although that is usually exhaust. The front Intake does not have a removable filter but again it might be mounted to the actual fan, I'd have to look, it does have a mesh covering though. I will say it my case stays pretty dust free and only my top radiator collects a noticeable amount in about 8-12 months time. The fan on the side should have a filter mounted to it as well.

Question 3

how much processing power does it have?

Accepted Answer

This is just a case (housing unit for the computer parts) therefore the processing power is dependent on other components such as your motherboard and processor which is not included.

Question 4

How's the noise? Is it a loud tower, or does the water cooling do a good job at keeping it relatively quiet?

Accepted Answer

It depends how many fans you populate it with. I fully maxed it out and have a push/pull setup for my cpu radiator. The built in fan speed control is nice, you can turn them down if it's too loud. I usually run them all at full speed and it's a little noisy, but I never really notice. The bigger fans help cut down on that too.

Question 5

Can the door for the area where the optical drives are installed be removed?

Accepted Answer

You can take the front cover off its hinges. There are two hinges with two screws a peice, all of them phillip screw heads. As far as removing the hinges themselves I'm not sure, you'd have to take apart the whole chassis if it is possible. It looks nice with the face cover on though, it opens easy and is magnitized so it's never ajar. And any work involving removing or adding optical drives can be done from the interior of the tower.

Question 6

Hello, Newegg community! Would i be able to put a corsair h105(240mm) water cooler on the top or in this case? If so where would it be mounted?

Accepted Answer

I have a Corsair H110 installed in mine and it fits without issues.  The dimensions of the H110 are 312mm x 140mm x 29mm while the dimensions of the H105 are 270mm x 120mm x 38mm, so yours will be slightly wider, but that shouldn't be an issue because I have roughly an inch of extra room width-wise.

Question 7

What kind of SATA connection is the SD Card Reader cable?  It is bigger than any I have seen before.  What kind of adapter cable will I need to plug it into my motherboard?

Accepted Answer

The SD Card Reader Uses the usb 2 Connector Which should be able to connect to most any motherboard, or at least the more modern

Question 8

Will this case work with a 980 ti Hybrid which has a liquid cooler with a 120mm fan built into it?

Accepted Answer

Yes it will.  There is plenty of space and multiple positions to mount a radiator like that, including the rear of the case and the top.  The top has plenty of space for a large closed-loop CPU cooler like the NZXT Kraken X61, so it has more than enough room for a GPU radiator.

Question 9

The NZXT website states that this has a CPU cooler clearance of only 153mm due to the side fan.  For a case this size, that seems surprisingly small, and the side fan seems to be mounted lower on the case than where it would interfere with a CPU cooler.  Newegg, you also did a video review of the Cooler Master V8 GTS CPU cooler.  Any chance you could tell everyone if that monster, or any similarly over-size CPU cooler, will fit in this case with the side fan still installed?

Accepted Answer

I would be very surprised if you have any issues with that cooler (or any cooler). The inside of this case is very spacious, and that side fan comes up maybe half an inch above where the top of the graphics card sits in the top PCI slot and there is about an inch and a half (more or less) of space between my graphics card (GTX 770) and the side fan.

For me and my motherboard (ASUS Sabertooth Z77), if I'm looking straight into that side window, my CPU sits about in the middle of the "upper" side of the window (I say upper because the window [as you can see] has a downward sloped side where it drops slightly).

Basically what I'm saying is that I agree. The side fan is mounted too low to interfere with, in my opinion, any cooler you'd want to put in the case and would be very surprised if you ran into any issues.

Question 10

Does it process fastly because I want to play games like gmod and indie horror games?

Accepted Answer

This is a case. It only houses computer components. The processing power depends on what CPU are planning on putting in this case (on the motherboard).
