Question 1

Are the two included fans 3-pin motherboard or 4-pin molex?

Accepted Answer

I took a quick look today as I blew the case out. The one in the back is a 3 pin MB plug, but I forgot to check the front fan. Though, if I recall correctly, that too was a 3 pin MB connection.

The case itself is good. Lots of available airflow, bottom mounted PSU area and a top venting area for liquid cooling if one has that. The fans that come with it seem to be doing fine as well with regards to keeping my machine cool.

Hope this helps.

Question 2

How does this case compare too, the Rosewill Challenger- blck gaming atx mid tower computer case? 
I will be using this for gaming, I just have a hard time choosing cases.
Thank you for the feedback

Accepted Answer

I honestly do not know for gaming purposes I used this case for a work computer that has no dedicated Video card or anything.  Install was pretty easy,  I don't recall any screwy things or hard to get at areas.  But like I said I built a pretty bare bones system with this case.

Question 3

I'm looking to water-cool my PC in the future and I like the way this case looks (and I like the price).  Does this case have ample room for a front mounted radiator? It looks like I can make do with a 120mm radiator at the top but if I wanted to go for a 240mm in the front, would there be room?

Accepted Answer

I would advise against this, the case is nice but very small. I got this case for my son to do his first build on his own, it worked great until we went to add a water cooler later. The cooler (120mm) took up a lot of space, and thus causing an air flow problem. The CPU ran only ran a little cooler because of this, ended up having to go with a bigger case to correct the problem. It says it is a mid-tower, but in my opinion it is not or is on the low end of a mid-tower range.

Question 4

How many case fans are included and what size, 80mm, 120m?

Accepted Answer

One blue 120mm in front and one 120mm in rear included. Can add another 120mm in front and another 120mm in top rear. I like the the case no issues yet. Hope this helps.

Question 5

What is the maximum video cards size this case can hold?

Accepted Answer

I bought the "MSI R9 280 GAMING 3G 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card" and it fit great in this case. It's a large size video card and it went in with no problems..

Question 6

Is this case big enough to house the powercolor 290x?

Accepted Answer

I have the MSI 380X gaming edition and it fits fine. Hope this helps.
