    The PSU freaked me out a bit though.
    When I powered it on the 1st time, the fan just twitched abit when and just stopped.

    Apparently normal. The fan doesnt come on unless the unit is under at least 20-25% load, and if its needed.

    Its also my 1st modular PSU. I certainly see why everyone loves them so much. Made putting everything together, and cable managent super simple.


    I did the same thing with my Corsair PSU (they are rebranded Seasonic). I was freeked out until I looked it up and saw if it was less then 300 watts the fan would stay off.

    the case reminds me a bit of a stormtrooper
    I can't remember where I read it but when I was looking around for a case and researching this one..

    Apparently, at a show somewhere (before release) Corsair was showing it & had actually nick-named it the "StormTrooper Case"

    It has a 200mm intake fan.
    The 2 HD bays can be removed, or repositioned.

    With the stock fan, airflow get choked a bit in the default position.
    I moved the top HD bay, to left (on the floor) of the bottom one.

    It helped some, but in the end I removed to bottom HD cage all together leaving just the floor mounted one closest to the PSU.

    then moved my SSDs up to a 5.25" bay (Had a double mount bracket for them.
    Improved Airflow alot.

    Just got this pic from the interenet cuz Im lazy, but you can see how its setup.

    The downside is the HD cage doesnt get quite as much airflow.



    Biggest reason Im thinking of replacing that intake fan. It just doesnt seem to move as much air as it should.
    Sorry for my ignorance,but what are this?

    I'd love a triple card setup!
    Need one large PSU though! Seeings as the average high end card draws more than 300w, that's 900w for GPU's alone lol.

    I wish GPUs had power connectors on the bottom as well as the top, as there's no "neat" way to run the cables.

    EATX mobos might cause issues, but normal ATX mobos the card normally has a bit of overhang.
