Question 1

Does this case even have CD disk drives? I've been looking at reviews and I can't seem to find any videos that show them.

Accepted Answer

No, it doesn't but it is easy to use an inexpensive external USB drive. I used an Asus model. You'll find that you don't even miss the internal one. Good luck with your build, this is a great case.

Question 2

I want to use this as a home server case, but it needs to be able to support 6x full size hard drives (actually, 5 full size, 1 small/ssd size hard drive, but would like to have option to upgrade). I don't have a need to install a video card, or any extras (the motherboard includes 6 ports, so no raid card needed).  The only thing that would be in the case would be mobo/cooler/psu and the hdds.  Its very hard to get a mental picture of how things would work without seeing it in person, i can see the 3 swappable bays that are accessible from outside, but can't tell if there is a spot for any on the interior.

In summary, how many hdds can this case fit at once if no expansion cards/etc. are installed?

Accepted Answer

This case does not have built in support for more than 3 3.5 inch hard drives. The second drive area is for 2 2.5 inch drives. These 3 slots are accessible by removing the to panel then they agree in a smaller cage similar to the larger one in the back. You could conceivably just lay extra drives on the bottom areas of the case as there is plenty of room, especially if you're not running a graphics card or any extra cards in the expansion slots.

Bottom line the case is not built for what you want if more than 3 of the drives have to be 3.5 inch drives. From my research before buying this case I know there are other cases out there than offer small form factors that offer what you desire to do.

But I will say this case is phenomenal. It's quiet and had great airflow even with just the 3 stock fans in it. So if you can get away with using a mix of drive form factors I'd definitely say to jump on this case even though if you stack all three drives in each cage they are quite close together.

How this was helpful.

Question 3

are the included fans actually decent quality since this is from Corsair? or will i still need to buy real Corsair fans for the case?

Accepted Answer

Depending on your build, the fans that come with the case work well.  I ended up buying a few more fans because I live in a hot climate area with no AC and my rig was getting hotter than I would have liked.

Are the fans quiet? Not really but they're not loud either if you are watching a movie, the quiet scenes won't be interrupted by the fan noise. Basically they're not whisper quiet but if you have a small setup, live in a cool environment these will be fine.

Question 4

Are the fans that come with the case molex or 3-pin fans?

Accepted Answer

3 pins. I had to not use one because of a lack of headers on my MB.

Question 5

I am for a new case for a MircoATX ASUS Z87 with 2 evga 760GTXs in SLI.  with a Cool master hyper 212 Heat sink, will I have room for all this, I dropped my Pc during a move and cracked the front panel off?

Accepted Answer

As awesome as this case is, I would not recommend sli. Aftermarket GPU coolers with multiple fans are not a good idea in this case. Stock blower style coolers might work but even when just watching Netflix my cards got too hot for my comfort. Gaming will abviously suffer too. Single cards are totally fine. The EVO 212 is too tall. Look at the manual on the corsair website for cpu cooler clearance height.

Question 6

Why is there no option for radiators on top of the case? I am planning to add a dual fan radiator (H220-X). Is there a reason they don't say that you can place a rad on top? Oh and I use an MATX board.

Accepted Answer

This case does not support top radiators if you use Micro-Atx or Mini-Itx (unless your motherboard heat-sinks are short enough to allow the fans/radiator to go over top). There is only room for fans on the top of this case. Also, if you use a Micro-Atx board it will be very likely that you wont be able to use fans on the bottom of this case. Jumbo D if you are wanting to water-cool in this case, the radiator must go in the front.

Question 7

Are these stackable, say if you position with the glass panel facing up?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the cases rubber feet come unattached with sticky backing so you can choose what side to stick them to.  And the feet are quite thick so you should have no issue stacking these.

Really loved this case, btw.  It's a real masterpiece!

Question 8

can this fit large graphics cards? and aftermarket fans?????

Accepted Answer

Yes; i was able to fit a GTX 970 and an HD 7990 in one of these cases, also aftermarket fans fit perfect, that is what it is designed for. I was concerned about the GPU height but there was even enough room between the glass and the card to have about 2" of clearance so even cards with heat pipes out the top should work. Check the specifications of your GPU to be sure.

Question 9

Hey guys just wondering if you know, in the pictures of this product there is a few pics of a full build with two graphics card and a radiator. Just wondering if you know which graphics card it is and how long it is as well as if you know which liquid cooling set it is? (I think it is the H105)

Accepted Answer

I wish if I could answer you directly but unfortunately I am not using any graphics card with my built. But there are several reviews on youtube which also addresses graphics card clearences. I watched them before I bought mine last year. All I remember that reviewers were pretty happy with it.
PS: I am happy with it, I wish there were more 3.5" caddies though. There are plenty of room on the PSU / HDD side of the case. Just a thought.

Question 10

I am making a build with this case and a have a 275mm long graphics card (ASUS R9 270x) by 42 mm wide. I also have micro ATX motherboard. I want to fit that graphics card, that motherboard, and the corsair h105 Liquid cooling on the front of the case. Judging by the pictures I noticed that if the graphics card is too long it will hit the radiator. I was wondering if I could fit the r9 270x from ASUS and the H105 radiator? On a side note I will only have one expansion card wich is the 270x.

Accepted Answer

I have the MSI GTX 980 in my case, and it is a VERY snug fit in terms of width. My card is 279 x 140 x 36. The 140 is causes the window panel to bow out just a little bit, but it DOES fit. As for the length, with that length graphics card you will be able to fit the H105 radiator just fine. The only thing you need to be aware of is your fan configuration. You will NOT be able to do a PUSH-PULL fan config. You will only be able to do PUSH OR PULL. I recommend getting a couple static pressure fans with LED lights and do the PUSH config. If you do that, the lights from the fan will shine through the front of the case and look very nice. The cooling is more than sufficient.
