Question 1

Is there a switch for the lights?

Accepted Answer

I don't believe so. In fact, I don't ever recall any case sold or system board that had or has a switch for lights. If there is a light, it usually either comes on whenever PC is powered on or it acts as an indicator light showing use like HD access. If light is built into a fan, you can't turn it off because same plug powers fan and light. I have a different and older case and two of the lights stopped working. Just died. I did not bother to even look into replacing them.

Question 2

Do you think I could fit a cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO in this case?

Accepted Answer

Yes you definitely can Nick I just installed one yesterday for my AMD 8350. Things too note before installing is too make sure you attach the bracket too the motherboard outside of the case because it makes installation a lot easier. Also its a trade tight squeeze when installing so re moving the ram helps a bit. Other then that the side buffs on the case give you plenty of clearance and also cable management for maximum airflow.

Question 3

I know that it has the fans but does it also have the power supply as well?

Accepted Answer

No, it's just a case.  It has the front i/o hardware and some fans (recommend purchasing another one or two) but that's it.

Question 4

hi im taylor i want to know if this gaming pc has leds and if it does then does it come with the remote for the colors?

Accepted Answer

There's no remote for the LED fans. The fans are cheap junk anyway, and don't last more than a few months. I replaced them with Cougarfluid bearing fans and now everything suits me. I didn't have any problem with the case, standoffs or thumb screws, just the fans were garbage. Here's the fans I used - COUGAR CF-V12HB Vortex Hydro-Dynamic-Bearing (Fluid) 300,000 Hours 12CM Silent Cooling Fan. I'm not sure why newegg won't allow links to it's own site, so I couldn't hotlink to the fans.

Question 5

Any idea on the CFM of the fans?

Accepted Answer

No idea.. But do not get this tower. It is a waste of money and is not compatible with the build I went with. (GTX 650 ti didn't fit. Lol, what?)

Question 6

Do I need to buy the holders for the hard drives or does the case come with them?

Accepted Answer

The Challenger S not only has holders for the hdd, but it also has two separate trays to store ssds. Id suggest you going with one for the OS.

Question 7

Can this case support a Nepton 140xl water cooler without modifying the case?

Accepted Answer

If you take out the front top fan. I have a setup with a h80i dual fan in the push-pull setup. My amd 8300 stays cooler than the motherboard with a mild oc to 3800. averages about 17 to 20 cel. under normal use. I'm going to put my 4790k an mobo in this case because they run a little hotter. To answer your question yes. i'm not using any fans on the top of case either.

Question 8

Can someone tell me how to replace the 2 frontal fans?  I need to replace them but can't seem to pull the panel that covers them.

Accepted Answer

It's tough to remove the front plate, but there's a latch hidden on the sides of the front plate, I believe lift up or down to remove, and the front plates will be accessible. 
I've had to clean mine out about x2 and both times were a bit of a pain.

Question 9

I bought this case, but when i plug in my headphones what sound should come out of the left ear comes out the right and vise versa. I know i don't have my headphones on backwards, but is there any way that i could have plugged something in wrong, and is there any other simple fix preferably without buying anything new? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

On the front of the tower it is meant for one headset and one mic plug in. If you only have headphones which in your case seems like it has two jacks. Just buy a adapter for it. Hope that helps. Again my headset has two plug ins, one for the mic, and one for the headset. The back is the same thing. Good luck.

Question 10

The side panels stick out beyond the frame of the case.  The specs state the width is 7.28 inches. Does that dimension include the protrusions on the side panels? What is the overall width?

Accepted Answer

Side panels provide 1/2" of additional clearance per side.  Total width of the case with the panels on is right at 8.25 inches.
