Question 1

Wondering if my motherboard would fit in this case? Current motherboard is a Gigabyte  GA-870A-USB3

Accepted Answer

Doing a quick search I would say yes. Your mother board is 12" x 8.66". I have a GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P which is 12.0" x 9.6". This case is really huge. There is more than enough room for just about anything. I even added the CORSAIR Hydro Series H105 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler with no problem. I have owned a few cases in my time and this is probably the best.

Question 2

How many fans does this come with ?

Accepted Answer

3 fans, 2 white led 140mm fans in the front and 1 140mm fan on the back. There's room for 2 more 140mm fans or 3 120mm fans on the top of the case as well as another 120mm on the bottom if you stack the HDD cages on top of each other which also opens up room for longer GPUs.

Question 3

Does the case have any HDMI ports and/or a DVI or VGA port? If yes how many?

Accepted Answer

No, it does not have any video ports.  The front panel includes two USB 2.0, two USB 3.0, headphone and mic ports.  Keep in mind that cases rarely have video ports, as this is a function of what your motherboard's on-board video or your video card supports.  A few cases do have an HDMI front port for use with VR headsets (NZXT's S340 Elite comes to mind), but even that is only a pass-through from your motherboard or video card's HDMI output.

Question 4

is the top of the case metal or plastic?

Accepted Answer

The top of the case is a metal mesh which can be used to vent the hot air.  There is a plastic cap over this which has small magnets as a hold down but if you have fans on it you will want to remove it.

Question 5

What are the legs on the case made of?  Are they durable or flimsy?  A little uneasy with the idea of a case with legs

Accepted Answer

They are made out of a thick, rigid plastic. They are very sturdy and have rubber on the bottom for gripping. The vent in the bottom of the case really take advantage of this and allow for amazing cooling. As a builder I have no complaints about this case. its fantastic. You wont be disappointed.

Question 6

would this fit CORSAIR Hydro Series H105?

Accepted Answer

yes it will fit it is a 240mm radiator. I have the H100i with 4 fans on it and it fits nicely. They are the same size. This case is very spacious so it should fit you other components with ease

Question 7

How secure is the latch on those side doors/panels?  Asking as a dad and a cat owner.

Accepted Answer

If you tried to open the door without using the latch you would end up breaking the latch before opening the door. The door itself is quite flimsy so pulling at the door from the top or bottom will flex the door and you *might* get a finger or two inside. I wouldn't worry about it too much, it's quite secure.

Question 8

will this be able to have a h100i in push pull?

Accepted Answer

You can but if you have something like the Asus x-99 you will have to run the 4x4 CPU wire around it. Defiantly possible but if you have something with a big heatsink you just have to change around some wiring but it sits right above the motherboard

Question 9

It looks like it can hold a Titan. Just curious if anyone here has done it already successfully. maybe even two?

Accepted Answer

There should be no issue with this since you are able to put an E-ATX motherboard inside.

The hard drive cages are removable as well. I have a 980 ti inside mine and have over over 5 inches of clearance with the middle hdd cage removed.

Question 10

Am I supposed to plug the fans directly into my motherboard or into the 4 3 pin fan connectors that are in the bundle of cords that came with the case? The manual says motherboard but then I am unsure where to connect the 4 3 pin fan connectors as I bought the EVGA 750G power unit which doesn't come with a cable with more than one fan input. It seems like I may need an adapter like a 4 pin to 3 pin adapter with a 4 pin molex connection which I find surprising considering the money I spent on the case and psu.

Accepted Answer

The case comes with its own fan controller, which you can choose to use or not use. By plugging the fans into the connectors supplied by the case, you would be using the fan controller (button on top that controls fan speed).
Since I am using Corsair link, I decided not to use the case, and since I have a Corsair h100 cpu cooleri, it comes with its own connectors that allow me to split and connect 4 fans. 
So basically it comes down to do you want your motherboard to control your fan speeds automatically via software, or use the on board controller. I suggest using the motherboard if you can, and not use the on case controller. Hope this helps.
