Question 1

How much room is there for cable management between the back cover and the motherboard mount?

Accepted Answer

There is maybe 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch behind the mount and the panel. I don't have the item in front of me to actually measure, but when I was building it, there was plenty of room even for the 24 pin motherboard power connector. You should spend the extra money however and get the NZXT source 210 elite, as it has the tool less drive bays, which in my opinion is a huge plus! Overall, a great purchase and quality case for anyone on a budget!

Question 2

I just bought a powercolor radeon 7950 video card. It's almost 10.5 inches long. Will this fit in the case? I may crossfire another in with it later. Will it fit two 7950's?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it will fit with no problem at all. xfire should also not be a problem, however you will need to keep your hard drives towards the bottom of the case or the connectors will be in each others way. Great case, with excellent airflow, especially for the price.  use this case for nearly every build i do.

Question 3

Is the front panel some kind of mesh material? It looks like solid plastic and ventilation comes from between the black and white. If this is the case, does it hinder front intake air flow at all?

Accepted Answer

This may be a bit hard to describe but I'll do my best. The white panel you see in the front is like an inset piece. What I mean by that is there is a gap all around the sides that provides a gap for ventilation. This case really has a lot of places with which to take in air and a lot of place to mount fans. There should be no problem moving air within it no matter how you chose to do so.

Question 4

motherboard that will go with this case?

Accepted Answer

It has standoff locations for several different types of motherboards. I'm using the ATX ones, there's also ITX, & MiniATX, I believe (don't have the case open to look) :)

Question 5

The description is unclear, how many spots for fans are there and what sizes are they? The description says 1 on top and bottom but the picture shows two, thank you very much

Accepted Answer

Yeah there are two on top, one on bottom (2 if you count the spot for the power supply) , two spots behind the front panel, it comes with one fan screwed into the back side (on the inside) and the one on the side. The case has rubber step up things that make it so the fans on the bottom can work properly. Each space for a fan has 2 fan size options which I think are the 120 and the 140. I think anyways cause each space has 2 options for which to screw in a fan (I'm assuming the farther apart ones mean bigger fans)
This was my first build (my only so far) and I'm sorry if I am mistaken on any of the information!

Question 6

How many usb ports are there counting front and back?

Accepted Answer

THere are only two USB  extension ports on the front that connect to the mother board.Any other USB ports will be on the mother board, not the tower/case.

Question 7

can this fit a gtx 770?

Accepted Answer

I'm thinking yes. I'm I have a gtx 660 EVGA. But, depending on which brand you have or get better check the length of the gfx to make sure you have enough clearance

Question 8

Does this come with any fans?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it comes with one 120mm exhaust fan (black frame/white blades) in the back of the case.

Question 9

How much space is there for fans at the front of the case? Are the drive bays removable to make more space for a radiator?

Accepted Answer

The front is fairly tight. I was able to fit 2 120mm fans in it but not anything much wider. The drive bays are not removable. I'm not sure of you can fit a radiator in it. You might be able to fit a single 120mm radiator some where other than the front.

Question 10

Can you actually fit a 140mm fan on the top?  Or the front?

Accepted Answer

From what i can tell when i installed my 120's. This case from nzxt is free from requiring their nzxt proprietary fans, which have been reported for some of their other cases. 
As ive mentioned, i was able to install "industry standard" 120mm fans (6 out of 7: 5 aftermarket cooler masters, and the 1 the case came with (which is a closed body design) and left 1 spot unused for the pos/neg pressure configuration i wanted) 
 Again this is visual and not 100%, but the only places you can install 140's are the side and the two on the top. The front two, bottom, and rear fans are limited to 120.

Hope this helps!
