Hey Tom! I was really interestet in getting this case for a friend but when I saw the case flexing while you removed the HDD cage @8:25 I was really concerned about the integrity of the whole enclosure. At first it seemed that the case was just rocking on the table because you pulled hard on the cage but I watched the part repeatedly and it seems that the whole case is flexing, still I'm not sure what I saw so you can clear it all up for me.

Cheers!

@skawster its fine dude :) the door adds loads of strength as with all cases :)

Hi Tom. You mentioned at the start of the video that the metal and plastic mesh cover would significantly impede airflow. Do you think it would be worth adding extra 120mm fans at the top for an air-cooling system or would the cooling difference be negligable?

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@c3026209 if you use the roof as exhaust just remove the plastic mesh

And if you could tell me please, the so called push and pull system with the H100 radiator to the top of the case wouldn't fit no way there? Is there a possibility to put the two fans on top of and put the radiator and the two other fans underneath?

Would be very pleased, if you could answer! Thanks a lot!

@TallinkTitanic I answered this in the video.

@zzPirulito111zz I have one of these, and I definitely don't regret it.

Is it possible to plug more fans to the fan controller? Thank You! :)

[EmulatorHeaven]

@kevelife Yeah it will go yellow eventually.

[zzPirulito111zz]

This or the HAF 922 / Shinobi? Looking into the H70 for cooling, dont think it would be a problem fitting it in either case

[GuardejnSyreregn]

@profrumpo what did you have to give and did you build it yourself??? =)

[kevelife]

Will the white paint ever fade?

[hertzman5YT]

@HitchHikersBlues There is. Only the side panel doesn't.

It strikes me that a major decider between the 400r and 500r would be how one wants to set the H100 (intake or exhaust) where intake would be for the 500r since there is a meshed filter on top and exhaust for the 400r since it has a large honeycom vent on top. Other deciders would be fan controller in the 500r and cage removal in the 500r.
