Question 1

Will the Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 2GB Dual-X Video Card fit in this?

Accepted Answer

I have the  PowerColor PCS+ AXR9 270X 2GBD5-PPDHE Radeon R9 270X 2GB  and it fits but it is tight. That is okay as long as it fits. One thing that could change if it will fit or not is the motherboard you get. If you get a motherboard that is larger than mine(in width) it may not fit. I am not 100% sure if it will fit or not, though mine did.

Question 2

Will the SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100363VX-3L Radeon R9 280X fit into this case? I'm wondering this because I'm making a build for my stepdad.

Accepted Answer

It will be a tight fit(or not at all) for the top PCIE port, but probably works fine for the bottom one.

I have a GTX 770 in the top fit which is around 10.5" and it's pretty snug

Thee bottom card slot has a little more leeway, but the card you suggest is about 12"

You can probably do it; but if you want a card with that size and be able to compensate for heat-heavy AMD cards like that, a larger case (Full ATX) would help with ventilation and more fan capacity.

Question 3

What are the options for watercooling?

Accepted Answer

The options are pretty standard. The top has space for 2 120mm fans, so a 240mm radiator should fit (just check for clearances). There are also grommets on the back, so if you need to surface-mount your radiator you can run tubes out the back. If you're just doing CPU cooling there should be plenty of space to keep everything internal.

Question 4

I'm looking to add a Geforce GT630 graphics card into this build, but in the reviews people have said the space for a GPU is very small. Will the GT630 fit? If not, What would?

Accepted Answer

This case will accommodate any single GPU solution available on the market today (it can handle one card of virtually any length, but if you want to install 2 cards, the second card is limited to a smidge longer than 12 inches).  The GT630 will be no trouble at all.

Question 5

Since this case only comes with one 120mm fan. What size fans can i install? Can every fan slot hold a 120mm? How many can be installed?

Accepted Answer

You can mount one on the left side, either inside or out. I believe that'll support a 120mm. There's also a nominal amount of room (depending on your PSU size) to mount one on the bottom, but that's a rather silly idea.

All in all, either buy a bigger case, or buy a CPU cooler with fans on it. That will keep your rig nice and chilly unless you're going to be running Xfire or SLI. In that case just buy a bigger case anyways.

Question 6

Hi I bought this case but I am concerned that the motherboard is to big. I am planning on dropping an EVGA Z97 FTW mobo with the dimensions of 12.0 h x 9.6 wide Will this mobo fit in the case?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the mother board I put in this case has the same dimensions.

Question 7

Will the Front Fan bay fit a 200mm fan?

Accepted Answer

I do not believe so.  It comes with 3 120's that I replaced with Corsair AF120's for more flow.  No problems at all with cooling and I don't see the benefit of going to a 200mm.  Best of luck to you!

Question 8

i was wondering how many fans does this come with and also where do i put m hard drive cause im thinking of using my old laptop hard drive because my laptop just died?

Accepted Answer

I believe there's only 2 case fans, one in the back and one in the front. There's holes for a 120mm fan to be mounted on the left side if you have space, either inside or out, but if you buy this case you should buy a CPU cooler that has atleast 2 fans on it to keep it cool. Not a necessity, but I'd recommend it.

The rack for hard drives is in the very front of the box. It does NOT come with HDD mounts, just screws to screw it in to the rack.

I'd honestly recommend going for a Full ATX Tower though. I just upgraded out of this case to a full ATX size and the extra space is glorious. Also, consider the size of your GPU before purchasing something this size. I had to pull out a part of the HDD rack to get my second GPU to fit.

All said, it's a great case, but I'd recommend getting a full ATX tower.

Question 9

what size fans can i install in this?

Accepted Answer

120mm fans fit in every vent. Two on the top.

Question 10

i plan on running amd vishera 6 core and a asus m5a97 and a western digital blue 1 tb and a nvidia gtx ti 2gb and a rg630 psu and 8gb ripjaw ram will that all fit in this tower?

Accepted Answer

All of these components should fit. I bought this computer for my brothers build. It's great.
