Installation
Installation was fairly easy and didn’t require much use of a screw driver. Starting off with the installation was with the upper mounted power supply, of which we needed the screwdriver for.
Since this case supports a multitude of motherboards NZXT has supplied plenty of screw holes to fit probably any size motherboard. Installing the motherboard standoffs comes pretty easy after using the same motherboard for various case reviews. If you aren’t quite as positive on your decisions you can review to the chart and positions engraved into the motherboard tray.
Installation for the hard drive is very quick and simple. Just place one of the screwless rails on either side of the hard drive and slide it into the 3.5″ drive bay until it clicks. It gives a pretty sturdy hold, but there isn’t a whole lot of padding for vibration and noise dampening.
An external 5.25″ bay isn’t as easy as the 3.5″, but it still doesn’t take a lot of time. To install a drive simple remove the front panel by pulling out on the bottom of the front bezel; it should snap off with a slight tug. Upon removing that we are revealed with the seven drive bays and 120mm fan.
Unfortunately you’ll have to remove the steel covers over the drive bay that you want removed. A couple wiggles with a flathead screwdriver will do the trick.
The screwless rail design for the 5.25″ drives is very similar to that of the 3.5″ drives except that they are wider. You can then just simply attach the rails to either side of the drive with the tabs sticking toward the front of the drive.
digging the massive vent hole on the left side panel. nice cooling for your comp

I never liked their cases much but lately they're getting better.

The Four 120mm are a nice touch to keep the GPU nice and cool.
I am with you. Their earlier cases were horrendous.
agreed, unless oyu have one giant fan instead
I've always like their cases, could tell they were on the right track
Some of their currents case are alright but alot of the past one were ugly.
Like a 240mm.
Yea, plus it'd run more quite
I guess, like the gamma, which kinda looks like the m59

Any idea if you can connect the case fans to the motherboard? I just got an ASUS MOBO, that overheats easily, and when the computer goes to sleep, the fans shut down, but the CPU remains active, which caused some serious overheating of 250+ F in CPU (no damage detected fortunately). Thanks for any guidance you may provide.
Yes if your motherboard has open 3pin connectors you can connect fans to it
