Question 1

Will i get the vented version or window version?

Accepted Answer

I have purchased the Lexan(clear) side as shown in the picture. I am very pleased to be able to see the inside of the computer. This is helpful to see the LED light status of my motherboard. If I have an issue, I can easily see the status of the board which allows me to rule out possible causes with memory, north bus, south bus, etc. Highly recommend the see-thru side panel. Any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. PS. This case is HUGE - excellent design, with plenty of room to work in. Great cable management. Holds a TON of hard drives. 12 bays!!! This is one of the only cases in the market that will hold a dual processor motherboard (Xenon), and for a price you can't beat. Most dual processor cases are server cases and are very expensive because of redundant power supplies, SAS HDD's, etc. Overall - Excellent purchase!

Question 2

My computer will not turn on. How do I check if the ON button works or replace the ON or RESET button - they seemed to be inside parts rivetted together. If the ON button failed how do you check the power supply. When turned off there is no power to the motherboard, disk drives etc. otherwise their lights would be on. Normally pressing the ON button sends power to the MB, drives etc. but if it's failed it's the same as failed power supply?

Accepted Answer

yes, it sounds as if your power supply has went out if you have no power to anything at all.

Question 3

Are the HDD cages restricted to the bottom half of the front section, or can you relocate them to the upper half? I am planning a new build and I would really like to have a front mount 240mm radiator. I am only going to have 1 optical drive, 1 SSD1, and 1 SSHD. I would only need one of the HDD cages and so if I could relocate one to the upper half of the front section then that would completely open up the entire bottom half for the radiator and fans. I'm also not opposed to modding the case, so if it would fit but would require drilling and tapping a few holes, that can be easily done. Thanks!

Cages can be moved up. There is room for a total of 3 if not 4.  Also there is room in the back for a radiator on the top and on the bottom depending on where you mount the power supply.

Question 4

This is my second PC I'll be building, and I'm not positive on what CPU to go with. I want AMD, but what socket type will work best, and what exactly is L2 Cache? I'll be using this for strictly gaming. If you have used this case to build your own PC, please e-mail me back or call me at (570)492-3488. My name is Silas. If you're a big enough help, I'll get you a nice gift from newegg :)
Thank-you

Hello Silas,
I just completed my build using the Xigmatek CCC-HSA0DS-U01 from Newegg.  This is a great case with really cool features, but a bit large.  You may want to consider the dimensions of this case before purchasing.  My system, all purchased from Newegg:  MOBO Asus Sabertooth Z87, CPU Intel Core I7 4770K 3.5G 8M, MEM 8Gx2|KHX KHX1600C10D3B1K2/16G, SSD 512G SAMSUNG MZ-7PD512BW, Blueray Drive ASUS BW-16D1HT - awsome combination.  I'll be happy to share my exerience, pro's and con's with you.  I will give you a call tomorrow (12/6).
