Four case fans: 8x8cm in the front (optional), two 8x8cm in the back (optional), 8x8cm side blow hole fan and golden grill on the side. Compatibility: Almost all standard ATX motherboards should fit in this case including Athlon motherboards from FIC, Abit, EPoX, BioStar and Asus although this case itself is not Athlon approved. If you have a motherboard with an onboard network adapter, you must use the I/O shield that came with your motherboard since cases normally do not come with such special I/O back plates.

No refund once assembled. 30-Day money back with 15% restocking fee for non-defective returns. No credit or refund after 30 days. Customer is responsible for returning manufacturer defective products including DOA unless testing is paid before shipping. Notes: (1) How to choose a power supply?. (2) Rarely do computer cases come with assembling instructions. We have put together an instruction sheet for you. The text version is free of charge. The latest one with diagrams is only $2. (3) Technically the term "hydraulic," used by the manufacturer, might be misleading to some people. It is really a "dampened" fall. You still need to manually move the cover up. (4) Question about the connection options for the case fan? Click here for answer. (5) Received a "dead" ATX power supply? Click here. (6) Some of the power supply upgrades we offer may not be P4 ready. To confirm that a particular power supply upgrade is P4 ready (ATX12V) please check the item page for that power supply in the Power Supply section. (7) Yes, you can also use a P4 ready case for Athlon, Pentium III and other non-P4 processors. (8) Side blow holes are used for extra cooling. (9) The front bezel of this design does not have venting holes. We are asking the manufacturer to add them for a revision in 1-2 months. (10) We now offer a 6cm to 8cm fan adapter if you want to mount an 8cm case fan in the back. Instructions for Front USB Ports: Currently, there are no standard for the additional USB connectors on motherboards. This case comes with a universal USB connector design that is compatible with almost all motherboards. Such a universal design may take some time to work with. You must read your motherboard manual carefully to figure out the pin layout for the USB ports to connect them. The front USB ports in this case have 9 pins and 7 connectors. The pins are labeled as: One 2-pin connector: 1. D+, 1. D- One 2-pin connector: 2. D+, 2. D- Five 1-pin connectors: 1.VCC, 2.VCC, 1.GND, 2.GND, and 3.GND Motherboards typically have nine pins for extra USB ports. Unfortunately, the pin layout and labels on motherboards are not always consistent from one brand to the other. For instance, 1D/2D corresponds to those labeled on motherboards as SBD2/SBD3, USBDT2/3, USBP2/3, USB0/1, and ICH_U_P2/3. VCC corresponds to SVCC, USB Power, 5V, and VREG_FP_USB_PWR. Examine the layout and polarity on your motherboard carefully before connecting the connectors. Warning: The hard drive and floppy drive mounting cage may become loose during transportation. There is a case screw on the back of the cage that can be accessed from the motherboard side. Make sure that screw is there and tightened. You must unscrew that screw to remove the drive cage. Sometimes, this case comes in without that screw. Alternatively, we suggest fixing the cage to the case by plastic zip ties, especially if you plan to ship the system you are building.
