Question 1

fans come with it ?

Accepted Answer

ThermaltakeThe case does not come with fans. It is built for liquid cooling and to display your creativity on bending the cooling tubes and your choice of components. It can be mounted to the wall with a TV bracket to display your work of art or set somewhere as well. I purchased a 480mm Thermaltake cooling kit which does come with fans in my build. It is the best case I have used and will most likely keep it for many years. Thermaltake has never let me down.

Question 2

In almost all pictures, this ATX case is shown with an ITX board installed. Does anyone have experience mounting an ATX board in this case? There is some reference to the PSU mounted vertically for an ITX installation. This case looks great if I can mount an ATX board and dual vid cards. That's a gamer's rig.

I had the same problem as Ashley K.  The top left mounting block would not slide down all the way due to the IO shield.  I am still in the process of figuring out out to get this to work.  Either drilling a new hole in a tempered glass which I don't even know is possible or moving the motherboard standoffs (which seems like a lot of work) or milling the block down as Ashley K did or somehow moving the IO shield (which I think would be very hard).  Simplest to me is drilling a new hole that is about 2 to 3 inches  up the Post that would allow the mounting block to screw into the Tempered Glass.  But anyway people should know that is this a problem with modern day motherboards with tempered Glass upgrade kit.  There could be some modding that will need to take place.  If I would have known this, I prolly wouldn't have bought the upgrade kit or even this case.  I have the ASUS ROG Strix X470-F Gaming AM4 AMD X470 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard by the way with this P5 case and Tempered Glass Upgrade Kit.

Question 3

I purchased this case for a new setup, however I don't intend to use liquid cooling on it because I'm not a gamer - it's a development PC. According to the manual, it supports normal fans (bought four Thermaltake Riing fans [2x140mm and 2x120mm]), but I can't figure out how to mount them. Any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

I personally didn't use any case fans at all for my build, just the Noctua NH-D15S CPU cooler.  My system is a Core i9-7900x overclocked to 4GHz and runs at 28 Celsius.  Putting any fans into the front where the liquid cooler radiator should go seemed silly to me given the open nature of the case.

Question 4

Where would you mount a DVR drive in this case?

Accepted Answer

The simple answer is that without modding you can't. However there are some solutions to this problem. Buy an external DVD drive that is USB and plug it in when you need the drive. (It is what I am currently doing with my Core P5 non-glass version. The second solution (which I will eventually do to my case) is to buy a slot loading internal optical drive (I've been eyeballing a Blu-ray one that is actually more than I paid for my case but is cheaper than this case). Below the power switch, reset switch, USB's and headphone/mic jacks and before the Thermaltake logo on the front is enough room to use a rotary tool to cut out a slot for the drive. It would mount to the inside of the case with little effort and the cabling would be easy to route from there. That's eventually what I plan on doing.

Question 5

does this case include the AIO mounting brackets?

Accepted Answer

The case is vesa mount compatible if that's what you are asking, I believe the actual mounts would come with your vesa mount system and you would bolt the mounting brackets to the back of the case if you were so inclined. I was going to mount mine, but my final build  ended up being so ridiculously heavy I lost my nerve to even attempt mounting it over my desk.

Question 6

I'd like to wall mount with the tempered glass attached. Does the front window sag without the support feet when the tempered glass is attached?

Accepted Answer

No it is very solid/sturdy. I have only had it wall mounted for a few days though. Most pics that I have seen do not use the silver support feet at all even when not wall mounting.
