Question 1

Can this case support a Micro ATX motherboard?? Pleaase help!!

Accepted Answer

yes, all you do is change the mounting screws to different positions.(comes with tool)

Question 2

Can the blue diodes be removed?

Accepted Answer

The diodes are built into the fans. I'm not sure if they can be removed but they draw power through a separate input, so you don't have to illuminate them if you don't want to. The other alternative is to install different fans--which the case makes very easy.

Question 3

How large of a video card can this case accommodate?

Accepted Answer

There is a little over 11" back to front where the drive cage begins.  Side point, be sure you have a mainboard which doesn't have the onboard USB 3.0 connector pointing to the front.  I had one that did and I ended getting a different MB model.  The case connector cable is thick and you can't bend it like most wires such as SATA connectors.

Question 4

can i fit a 11.5 graphic card on this case?

Accepted Answer

Hey my Gigabyte Nividia 770 (4gb) fits in just fine, and I'm pretty sure it's an 11.5 inch card. As long as you manage your cables well and consider where your fans are blowing (e.g. Out of/into your case instead of into one another) you shouldn't have a problem.

Question 5

How many watts do the fans in the case use?

Accepted Answer

It honestly shouldn't matter to much. I've got a R9 280x and a AMD FX 8350 clocked at 4.5Ghz and I only have a 650W PSU in there... I should also note I have a closed loop liquid cooler so if that's any indicator on how little power they draw. If it's an issue I'd probably say beef up the PSU you're picking. Also be sure to check a PSU calculator.

Question 6

I wanted to ask that these stand offs for an atx motherboard with this case. In the case they only have six placed in? or do they have the whole 9 and you cannot see the other ones because of the picture? because my friend is doing his first gaming build and I working on his pc with him through skype an he ordered the atx version of this case and only sees 6 stand off stems. PLEASE HELP

Accepted Answer

I haven't actually assembled the build for this case yet but I just cracked it open to look and it definitely has more than 6 stand offs... there should be 9 pre-installed.  My guess is that your friend is only seeing the top two rows of 3, and is missing the bottom row further down just above where the power supply goes. If all 9 standoffs for an ATX board aren't there he might just have to add them in himself (the holes should be there for them in the case at least) in an ATX layout!

Question 7

Will this case fit a MSI z87-G45 motherboard with an -EVGA GeForce GTX760 dual Superclocked 2gb (with acx cooler) graphics card-  and a -Coolermaster 212 EVO cpu cooler?

Accepted Answer

Hi, Dennis.  Newegg flagged your question for me because I own this case, so I'll do my best to answer.

Regarding the motherboard, I believe it will fit.  I'm using an MSI 870-G45, which is 1.3" shorter, but the case appears to have at least that much clearance for a bigger board (and it has the appropriate standoffs as well).

The graphics card should definitely fit.  I have a GTX 660 in my case that is roughly an inch longer than what you suggested, and I had no trouble fitting it.  Bear in mind that you may not be able to populate the internal drive bays directly opposite the card, though; the cabling on the drives would probably get into the card's space and vice versa.

I can't say for sure about the cooler.  I read a lot of opinions about the case before I bought it, and some folks said that a 120mm cooler would not fit, while others said they managed but it just about touched the side panel.  The 212 EVO is prettymuch the standard size for a 120mm tower cooler.  My measurements suggest it might just barely fit, but I didn't want to risk it myself - I used a 92mm tower cooler instead.  Also, definitely forget about mounting the upper side panel fan with that large a cooler.

If you don't mind a quick opinion (feel free to ignore it), it sounds like you are building a solid upper-mid-range system, and I think you'll be happier with a bigger case.  Even if all the parts fit, the Line Glow will likely be a hassle to work inside.  I like mine as a cheap case for a secondary machine using hand-me-down parts, but I would (and did) buy something better for a "nice" rig.

Hope that helps.  All the best.

Question 8

This can fit a H55 Quiet edition right?

Accepted Answer

I have a Thermaltake Water 3.0 pro in my case. It was a very tight fit but it's very snug and looks decent in there. You might have a LITTLE trouble closing the side panel at the top, but it's not a huge issue. Be sure to wire up anything you want on the motherboard before you put this thing in though, you won't have enough clearance afterward.

Question 9

Could I fit an XFX R9 280 in this case?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for the incredible amount of help :D

Question 10

Could I fit an Asus Radeon R9 280X?

Accepted Answer

Yes it would fit fine in that case. Just be sure to install the HDD and data cables onto the motherboard first as well as USB 3 header.
