Question 1

Was this suppose to come with a bag of screws, standoffs, etc?

Accepted Answer

open your case (the window side). and the rack that houses your hard drives  look on the very bottom there is a black box take the 8th hard drive holder out and it should be there. It's hard to see.

Question 2

Can the LED's on the front fans be turned off or will I need new 140mm fans?

Accepted Answer

not to sure, i know they will dim if they are plugged into the case fan controller. then the different settings make them brighter or dimmer. funny cause i like the fans they dont quite match my corsair ones and was disappointing the top and back ones werent the same. but the top and back ones are plain, they are all black. you could swap out the tops for the fronts. but you still could see the lights through the side i guess. but i hope this helped and if you dont want lights then ya you will have to buy some.

Question 3

Does the back case fan light up and does the window have lights by it basically are the front fans the only ones that light up?

Accepted Answer

There aren't any lights in the back or side, no. The front fans light up as shown in the pics, and there are a few lights in the top as well, but they are mostly obscured by the adjustable vents on top unless it's really dark in the room. I personally bought a few extra LED strips for my case after I got it.

Question 4

The case says it has 3.5"/2.5" HDD Docks, does this mean I could plug in a 3.5 or a 2.5, HDD or SSD, or are they different docks?

Accepted Answer

This case is big and can hold it all on the inside. You must be talking about the one external dock. Yes, in this one dock you can slide in a 3.5" or 2.5" hard drive of any kind. I currently have an ssd plugged into mine. It has a little plastic folding panel that moves out of the way for the 3.5" drive. i would be hesitant though, because of all the plastic, i would worry about static shock for an exposed 3.5 hdd. not a problem for plastic samsung ssd. anyway, food for thought.

Question 5

How many optical drives would I be able to fit in the front?

Accepted Answer

that would be the 5.25 bay drive. like the cd burner and what not. you can fit 3 of them. i have a normal cd drive and one that is a compartment drawer and nothing in the third aside cables for my leds. that is the three treys at the top are for. you pop them out for each one.

Question 6

i bought this case awhile ago for my first build and just noticed 2 LED lights in front of the usb 3.0 on top . how do i get them to light?

Accepted Answer

I'm assuming it is the power and reset that you are talking about. I don't know why the reset has it, though it flashes red randomly. Almost while the cpu is processing or something ,idk. But it is a wire to the mb like the power and reset one. My mb has a easy connect for the front panel. But i did watch a video on my mb being installed to see what was what. This was also my first build. So i suggest looking on youtube for a video on you're mb being installed or if you know pc's then look at the manual on that and the case. I think for the case wire it is either the hd l.e.d or the power- and power+ l.e.d. I'm thinking the power one. Hope that helps man and good luck.

Question 7

Would this fit an ASUS rampage IV Extreme?

Accepted Answer

This case will fit E-ATX (extra large) motherboards. I'm not using one but, my MSI X99A-SLI ATX MB fits with ease. Having started building PC's using mini and mid-tower (m-ATX) PC cases, upgrading Dell's and HP's, I love the roominess, and ability to back panel route my cables under the MB mounting plate and behind the drive bays (on the left side of them.) My board mounted Samsung NVMe SSD 2280 sits between two PCI-express card slots and has an Antec Spot Cool 100 Dual Mode Gooseneck Fan to keep airflow on it. That fan was not working well in the PC case I had the MB in before I installed it in the Roswill, due to the narrower depth of that case. I'd upload a pic for you to look at but, that isn't an option here.

Question 8

Do the 4 USB2.0 ports run off one USB2 header, or does it need 2?  If only 1 header is used, does it need power, like from a molex cable?

Accepted Answer

The 4 USB 2.0 ports have a built in connector for them on the case. Yes they will need to be plugged into your power supply via molex. The USB 3.0 connectors have a special plug-in on my MOBO. The only warning I would give about the case is how to hook up the power for the built in case fans. The directions are lousy at this and I ended up accidentally plugging my case fans in twice and now one fan adjuster is permanently set to low (it got a little hot from the extra power). Overall I've had the case for almost 2 years and absolutely love it. I highly recommend it. It has traditional case fans, and if they wear out I will replace them with some Cougar fans.

Question 9

Will the top of the case fit a 240mm radiator?

Accepted Answer

A friend of mine with the same case, and who is more nerdy than I, had this to say:
"Yes, the nightwalk 117 will indeed fit a 280mm radiator (two times 140mm fans).  Thats what currently in mine.

I will add this caveat, though.  The Corsair H115i water cooler I have in this case ran into some weird fan screw hole alignment issues, I could not get all 8 screw holes to line up.  IMO its a problem with the mis-alignment of the holes on the corsair product itself but while 280mm radiators will easily fit you might find the need to drill a few additional screw holes depending on the model of radiator."

Hope this helps.

Question 10

I tried the Hard Drive Dock on the top and neither a 3.5 HD or 2.5 SSD will plug all the way in, it seems that the docking adapter is installed way back? Does anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Previous purchasers have commented on this; this box has several serious problems. I doubt that its designer ever tried actually to use it. I wasted quite some time on it and finally gave it away.
