are you sure you can put 200mm fan at top?????someone plz replay plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz i need info fast because it doesnt look like it can fit if i buy this case and 200m green led fan......
AWESOME review! I will be getting this case, seems very awesome, and I will get a pair of LED fans for the front and top possibly as well. Thanks newegg! :D
@12me91 h60 is prty low for cooling, would rather spend lil extra on h100 but that sux if it wont fit. Do you know if i can take the h100 apart to rout the tubes through the holes and mount the radiator outside w/o breaking it?
@DamiPL I don't know to be honest. What are you going to use the cooling system for? if its just the cpu get a hyper 212+/evo. or you will probably have to get the haf 922/32 or a coolermaster storm case to use the liquid cooling.
@12me91 I already have the CM Hyper N 520 and its great so far but i could use extra juice for overclocking. I cant rly handle custom liquid cooling, H100 is self-maintenanced so i dont have to do anything w/ it thats why i wanted that. Cheap haf 912 has the holes for the tubes and place for radiator on top so custom LCooling can be installed but its a pain to maintain that. Im thinking of just drilling through the case to mount the h100 if i cant take it apart rofl its a cheap case afterall.
I'd love to get the stormtrooper, but I'm on such a tight budget right now...
How good are those meshes on the 912 at catching dust? I don't plan on overclocking so air-flow isn't too important, I just want to make sure I stop dust in it's tracks, cause even when I clean regularly I feel like it's slowly consuming my computer's innards.
Great review, but if you want to improve production quality of your videos, I'd recommended actually unboxing it before you start recording so you know what to expect beforehand. Also, editing out the awkward "I'm not quite sure how this works" parts helps make it a bit more professional. Oh, and add some lights or something.
@DavidImmPhoto CALMTHEFUCKDOWN!!! He is allowed to make mistakes as he has a freaking awesome job!! He also has so many different cases/builds/accessories/etc. he has to go through, it's not possible to remember everything and know exact specifics about a new(to him) model chasis. Get a life or go back to sucking your binky ... b!tch.
Hey Manga. If you watch the video at 6:58 - 7:09 the demonstrator attempts to fit in a HD 5870, 12 inch graphics card. According to Newegg in the details tab of the XFX HD 6850, it says that the length of the card is 9.25". This means you'll have just a little bit more than 2 inches of space so an HD 6850 should fit in the case.
That thing is butt ugly. I don't get the black or boxy angle style everyone's jumped on. They need to bring back the CM590. Nine filtered external 5.25 bays are better than those silly sideways mounted 3.5 bays. Every time you take the side panel off on those cases you bump a sata connector and lock the machine up. Also those top/side/bottom mounts totally defeat the purpose of the filters in the front...
@darkbyke Not at all, I cant break the laws of physics. The cables get dislodge because they collide with the side panel! Recently I swapped towers (with another stupid pos I bought) and put 5 harddrives in my CM690 and during post my primary harddrive always shows up as Bzbzbzbzbzbz~ with the side panel on. It doesn't matter how gentle I am putting it on, it always throws the the SATA cable off canter. I don't even have the side panel on right now because of this bs.
@ladefreakndah That's kinda funny, that's never happened to me with the 3 different cases I've used, 2 bunch of which had hardly any room compared to this case.
great job Newegg - thanks especially for the "video card test" showing that a full-length graphics doesn't quite fit - exactly what I was looking for.
I was considering buying one of these to replace my Antec P182 (which itself is a nice solid case).. too bad it doesn't come with the full size fans it can take.
man looks like a really nice case, i want it!! and it juts for $60 right now... but i wanted to use it with a Radeon 5970, is this case as large as to fit a radeon 5970? because i dont want to return it and spend $20 in shipping...

I have this case and I love it. I bought the official Cooler Master HAF 912 windowed side panel (was hard to find - goes out of stock frequently).
Lots of airflow, lots of space for components, great build quality, great price, absolutely love this case.
If you're looking for a budget case hit this up.

@DavidImmPhoto
1. He did eyeball the 120mm, he was just making sure he was correct.
2. He was thinking 2.5inch drives and floppy came to mind, same goes with me, he corrected himself by saying ssd's
3. It's a new case, he's not gonna know exactly how everything works
4. Yeah I admit that was actually a little stupid of him
5. Are you deaf that's what he said "Uh so is just a 5.25in brackets so you can mount a 3.5inch drive in there."
7. He said we're not we were.
