Would it be possible to hook all the fans up to a seperate fan controller with 4 channels instead (like Scythe Kaze Master)? While still being able to controll the LED's from the top fan controller? From what i can make out from your review it's possible, but i'd like to be sure. Also, I'm thinking of putting a Sunbeam Hyper Light in there since i have the window version of this case. Would it be possible to hook it up to the case's fan controller to dim the light on that? Thanks for the review!

@DGMRuadeil not unless you plan on wiring it yourself. Its not something you can just bolt up Im affraid dude.

would  Gainward GeForce GTX 470 1280MB PhysX fit in this beauty?

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@Vig0rity easily. Every card being made today will.

I have a sli gtx 260 with Corsair 850w and was wondering if it will fit this case, I don't know how much thicker or thinner 4870 is, but looks like you mange to fit it pretty comfortably. Looks a little tight at the bottom between graphics card and power supply... I just don't want to buy it and RMA it because it doesn't fit, any help would be appreciated.

@Tomatoffxi it will fit fine fella

that's good cable management, everyone's gonna have a mess behind the motherboard under the right side panel you can't get away from that; but I agree with him, that some cases or setups just don't allow the best cable management;

but I can't hardly see any cables when looking inside the case anyhow; that's great fricken cable management I think !!

arrgghhhhh ... **scoffs at 256k third world internet connection and returns to bed crying**

@phoenix9990 The whole mesh side has a filter behind it.

Zip Ties are your friend. There are spots in the back to use them, should give it a try. My Sniper is all tidy at the back with using them.

damn you look like richard hammond from top gear here ahaha

awesome case btw

[eck0mist]

@Didg0r completely agree with you I have the same case and it doesn't look like that, it's all hidden.

[Didg0r]

This guy should learn cable management. It's not supposed to look like that at all.

@GamingGeek97 This one has better cooling, but the corsair has cleaner and sleeker design. So its really depends.

[GamingGeek97]

@TimeToLiveCustoms CM Sniper Black or Corsair Graphite 600t?

[JmanEspresso]

Right on review mate! This was my first case, and after 6months of use, I totally agree with ya. Very nice thermal performance with crossfire GPUs, but the cabling, IMO, is terrible. First, is the fan mess.. But second, is the fact that the MoBo tray doesn't extend to the drive bays. That gap is terrible, and IMO, is a major fault. Those two items have driven me mad since day one. And its a shame, because otherwise, I really like the case for an air cooled rig. But, Ive moved on.

Does the left side panel with the 200mm fan have dust filters?

[SRSpoony]

nice shed :P
