Question 1

Does this case offer front slots for CD/DVD Player?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It has two slots for blue-Ray, DVD/CD reader/writers.
I have a blue-ray player and DVD/CD reader/ writer in mine. 
Great case.

Question 2

Does this come with the headphone hook advertised in the description? I don't see it in the pictures

Accepted Answer

It has headphone and microphone jacks on the front above where the case fans go. They are right next to the power switch.

Question 3

Are the optical drive bays removable so an extra fan can be placed there?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are 5 screws that need to be removed to remove the optical drive bay. The front of the case supports up to 3x140mm or 3x120mm fan when the bays are removed. However, most triple fan radiators will not fit in the front of the case due to tank clearance issues.

Question 4

Will it work with Enermax - LiqTech TR4 360 102.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler on top?

Accepted Answer

The top of the case does support a 360 officially but it's worth noting that the radiator mount is sunk in by about 1/4" all around. What you end up with is a small channel all around the radiator and some of the AIOs radiators have a little more length than the channel allows for. Nothing a dremel tool won't fix. I have a 280mm Corsair in the top of mine and I had to trim out the end of one channel to fit it. So with a 360mm you may end up needing to shave out a bit of the indented mounting area on one end or the other. Once you do that the screws will align and it'll be fine. I'd recommend seeing if you can find some top down views to look at or better yet youtube reviews. Also worth mentioning the front will fully support the 360 as well. But the case comes with a shround that is intended to move air through the back of the case. The shroud is removable and to be honest makes little difference in temps so the front is as option as well if you choose to not use the 5 1/4" drive bays. The 5 1/4" bay is completely removable. I have no complaints about this case at all.

Question 5

Does this case support Vertical GPU Mounting?

Accepted Answer

No, this case does not support vertical GPU Mounting from the factory.  All the slots are horizontal. There is room to mount a GPU vertically, but You would have to make your own modification. The back of the case has round slots that can be removed, this entire piece/bracket would have to be removed and replaced with vertical slots.

Question 6

Having a slight issue installing the "Cooler Master - MasterLiquid 240 66.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler" on the top area of the chassi. The fans are bumping into a raised part near the top of my EATX Motherboard the "MSI X299 XPOWER GAMING AC LGA 2066 Intel X299 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1"

This is my first time building a PC so not sure if im mounting the cooler wrong or not, of if mt parts are just incompatible, any suggestions? Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Mount the fans under the mesh and the rad on the inside of the Uper part of the case.

Question 7

What are the actual dimensions of the Panzer Max?  Here on new egg it is listed as 18.11" x 8.66" x 17.71" on cougar's site it is listed as 266x612x556 which converts to 10.47" x 24.09" x 21.89"?

Accepted Answer

W 10.3/4
L 24.0 add another 2.3/4 if you include the headphone hanger piece 
H 21.3/4
Might i add I absolutely love this case well worth it well built plenty of room ( im using the cooler master V8 GTS cooler ) and 1060 gigabyte extreme gaming video card also while it comes with case fans i personally replaced them with the solar eclipse 120mmx6 Red and it looks great. 1 last point if your installing a large cpu cooler make sure to install your top fans first because it hard after you install the mobo with cooler already on.

Question 8

are side panels sit tight or do they move a bit?

Accepted Answer

Removable panels do move a tiny bit. I wouldn't have even noticed except when I saw this question and double checked them. Not even a problem. Over all an impressive case. Only negative I see is the adjustable fan speed switch. Useless for 2 reasons: A, You need a compatible motherboard for the input plug on the switch wiring and B, If your buying this big of a case your build should sport high cooling capabilities with self adjusting fan speeds anyway.

Question 9

If I wanted to keep the front 5.25 bays, what size AIO/radiator can I fit in the front? a 240mm or a 280mm?

Accepted Answer

I have a corsair h115i mounted in front with my optical drive in the lower slot. It is tight but it fit so you should be fine with a 280mm.

Question 10

Are the side panels interchangeable?

Accepted Answer

Yes oddly enough you can swap the side panels so you would have the solid metal one from the back on the side where the smoked plexi-glass panel would normally be.
