Question 1

can u put a dvd player in it?

Accepted Answer

Hello, no you cannot install a DVD player in it or a media player. This day and age everything you need is online anymore. I find that I don't really need a DVD drive unless I am doing video editing. In that case what I have done is purchased a Samsung slim SE – 506CB Blu-ray Reader/Writer. It is pretty cheap, and it is very slim. I connected using a Bluetooth cable and just set it on top of the case, because it's so small it really doesn't stick out. I have my PC set up on my dresser underneath my huge flatscreen TV, when I want to use it I simply use my Logitech gaming keyboard with a USB extension cable, Plus my wireless rollerball mouse, then sit back and enjoy my PC from afar. The same goes for video editing, I simply said back on my bed and bring my slim Blu-ray writer next to me using a very long USB cable. From the comfort of my bed I can get all kinds of work done! It's awesome. I really do like this case it's very simplistic and beautiful. I wish there was a way I could send you a pic of my set up. I hope this answers your question. :-)

Question 2

Does this not have space or slot for dvd-drive?I noticed another model didn't.

thanks

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, no. But with software either being downloadable or on a flash drive (for example, Windows 10 is not being sold as a CD, but now as a USB flash drive), there isn't too much of a use for it nowadays.

If you still do need one, there are USB External Optical Drives as an alternative. They should be as cheap as internal optical drives, as far as I am aware...

Question 3

Is there any way I can use a burner to install an OS even without the drive bay, I only need it for that, as I dont have an Thumb drive ready?

Accepted Answer

Sure, you can hook up an optical drive to the motherboard and just not mount it in the case for temporary use, then disconnect it when you're done.

Question 4

So does this case not have anywhere to put a cd/dvd drive?

Accepted Answer

No. It does not have a place for an optical drive. If you still need one, you'd have to buy an external one.

Question 5

Is the side panel windows clear or has some darker shade to it?

Accepted Answer

It's clear. AFAIK the darker glad is the tempered glass, and I don't think NZXT offers that option with this case (nor am I sure about their other cases).

Question 6

how many fans can this hold?

Accepted Answer

This case can hold 4 fans. 1 rear exhaust fan, one top exhaust fan and 2 intake fans in the front.

The rear accommodates a 120mm fan
The top accommodates either a 120mm fan or a 140mm fan
The front can accommodate two 120mm fans or two 140mm fans

I hope this answers your question!

Question 7

Does this case have hard drive bays?

Accepted Answer

It has 3 standard hard drive bays hidden near the front bottom of the case. The bottom one has to be put in first because it can be tricky to get into and out of the bay When others are filled.

Question 8

how many coolers soes it have?

Accepted Answer

Cooling fan support:

Front: 2x 140/2x120mm 
Top: 1x 140/120mm (1 x 120mm FN V2 Fans Included) 
Rear: 1x 120mm (1 x 120mm FN V2 Fan Included)

Radiator support:

Front 2 x 140 or 2 x 120mm 
Rear 1 x 120mm

If you're going to mount a water cool in front, make sure you check the thickness of the radiator. For example, the Kraken X61 will fit but the X41 won't.

Question 9

Hi I actually got this case but it does not include reset cable. i thought its not normal so i replaced it but it still does not have it. is it how this case is???

Accepted Answer

If I remember right there isn't a reset button on the case. Looking at the photos you'll see that there is only a power button.

Question 10

Does this case overheat at all due to it being metal? I love the aesthetics of it but i have been told to get a case with more plastic to stop it from getting hot.

Accepted Answer

I have a rear mount 12cm all in one watercooling block and the back gets a bit warm but I honestly think it draws from the components, because my temps are always low (about 2c above room temp on load for an 8350e, 15-25c above room for my R9 290.) It cools really well actually, with the HDD and PSU both tucked away, and no 5.25 bays to block front to back airflow.
