Question 1

it says 550w but I'm not seeing anywhere under the description if it actually comes with the power supply? Does it?

Accepted Answer

No. It does not come with a power supply --I bought my power supply separately, but the case itself is pretty awesome. It comes well protected, but it's just the case (and led fans).

Question 2

is a riser cable included with this?

Accepted Answer

Mine did not include any hardware to do verticals GPU mounting. Other than that solid case.

Question 3

Are Disk Drives compatible with this case, yes/no?
(for Music CDs or Games on Disks)

Accepted Answer

The case is tempered glass all around. There is no where to mount any drives you would access externally unless you left a panel off the case. That is what I end up doing to temporarily use a disk drive.

Question 4

Is this case compatible with intel core tech? i need to know.

Accepted Answer

Are you asking if you can run an intel CPU? If so then yes, but its dependent on the motherboard you get not on the case.

Question 5

Does 3 140mm fans fit in front of the case?

Accepted Answer

No, 3 120mm would with 40mm slack. Stock fans work nicely, had to grease one after a year and a half.

Question 6

would a nzxt kraken x62 280mm fit into this case?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question.

Yes it would be compatible. You can install it on the top or front panel.

Thank you and have a nice day!

Question 7

Hey guys i have 4 or so different psu's lying around, evga, powerspec, corsair, all either 650w or 750w. Will i have any issues getting any of the psu's to fit in this case?

Accepted Answer

No it fits standard PSU's. The fans are loud though. I would suggest a different case personally.

Question 8

I am trying to decide between this case and the Alpha 330.  One major consideration for me is the depth dimension of the case since I have a very small desk (will only hold cases up to 20" long).  The page on Newegg and Lian Li's site lists 22.29 inches of depth for the Alpha 330, but I asked someone who owns one to measure it and they told me the case is actually 19.5 inches deep.  Could someone tell me the actual dimensions of this case as well so I have a little more to go off of?  I'd really appreciate it.  Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Its 19.5" deep if you include the small bracket in the back for a vertical mount gpu. That shouldn't effect you though by what you described so it's really more like 19"

Question 9

What is the maximum thickness possible for radiators on the front and top (assume attached 25 mm thick fans)?

Accepted Answer

I believe it's 50 mm for the front and top.
