@InspectorExacto thnx man you're right haha. I looked at the MB and saw 'pwr btn' and couldnt find that on any of the cables. But off course thats the same as 'pwr sw'. It works properly now, thnx!
Hey the powerbutton doesnt work in my case its connected to the psu. So i got a powerbutton from an other pc and connected it to the MB and it worked. Do you know how i can get they original one working?
@TheBunnyBashers Actually, the cord that connects to the PSU via a molex connector (I believe it was green and white wires) is for the LED light in the power button. The button itself is a normal wire that connects to the MB. Double check to make sure you have those front panel wires connected to the proper jacks and it might solve your problem! If not, well it might be a defective button... :(
Hey , i have 2 questions. 1. Do you need to install the golden screws first before installing the MB? 2. Are there instructions in the case or in the manual where to install the screws for a microatx mb?????? Hope to hear from you thxxxx
@jeremyniens Yeah, you have to put those screws in first because the motherboard screws get screwed into those golden ones. And yes, there are instructions that come with it. Plus, if you loose the manual, the instructions for which screws go where for both ATX and mATX mobos are etched inside the case!
@3v1LsmurF Yeah you shouldn't have any problems with that card. The spec sheet for the case says it has 12.4" of room for a video card, and it looks like your Sapphire 6950 Dual Fan card stretches to 10.24". I wouldn't sweat it.
@jakemears97 Yep, that will fit nicely. Just hope that your power supply's cable that goes to the CPU (the 4 pin one) will stretch because the connector is going to be almost at the top of the case! Mine only JUST fits.
@condemned75 I would say yes it is. Is has the option to mount a 120mm fan blowing right onto the GPUs from the side panel to keep them nice and cool. Plus there should be plenty of space for the cables.
@InspectorExacto Thanks again. I have all my things now but I've already hit a snag. This is my 1st PC build so I'm trying to follow the instructions to the letter, but I've noticed with the I/O shield, the MB doesn't sit flush. I notice you have removed your shield, did you have the same problem? Also, the screws that Coolmaster say I should use to fit the MB are too small and don't actually screw into the chassis. Did you use the stand-off screws? I'm using top fans so it says not too.
@condemned75 Yes, you screw in the standoffs to the chassis and then put ur motherboard on top of the standoffs and use the regular screws to screw your MB into the standoffs. A screw within a screw.... This is probably why the MB doesn't sit flush because the standoffs raise ur board off the chassis. And for the I/O shield, I only left mine off because I didn't have 1 for that motherboard. Here is advice, put the shield in (you have to press HARD on all 4 corners) and then the MB in after.
@maverick7376 It looks like it might not. The reference for the 6970 seems to be 28.7cm, but I could be wrong. Just look up the length of the 6970 that you want to get on the manufacturer's website to make sure.
@boldorider4 ahahah I didn't even finish watching the video when I posted the comment about the metal gear solid theme! In the end you claim the source for the music, so no more doubts!

Good review. I'm considering an Asus M5A88V mobo with 2 x XFX HD-679X GFUs crossfired. Is this case suitable for multiple GFUs? Thanks in advance.

@InspectorExacto Thanks dude. I've changed the motherboard slightly but double checked and you're right, everything should fit nicely. Thanks again.

did you find that the audio cable was a bit short, because i had to extend it. other than that its a good case for the price

@Fattyboombah1 I think for some motherboards it might be a bit short, but luckily for me, its JUST long enough

@Mdot1982 No, just the top and bottom, any more and it would probably cost more.
