Cooling
The Elite model has a total of three 120mm LED fans. The first is mounted at the front of the case before the HDD cage. It has a 3-pin motherboard connector and is meant to be connected to the LCD display to maintain control as well as monitor the performance of the fan. In fact, the second 120mm fan mounted at the back also has this ability.

The third 120mm fan in the Elite model is mounted on the case's left side panel as an intake over the CPU as we mentioned earlier.
The steel model also has an LED fan mounted on the left side panel, but only one more 120mm fan mounted at the back of the case, which is a standard-type fan (not LED). We do have the option of mounting a third fan at the front, but one is not included with the steel package. We predict that our Seagate drive will run slightly warmer in the steel model because of the lack of the third fan at the front.

Looking at the structure of the HDD cage also shows how air will flow through the 3/4" holes and around each drive mounted to cool them effectively. The air then flows back and up through the exhaust fan mounted at the back of the case. The side-mounted fan also takes in air and blows it at the area where the memory and CPU usually sit.
Nemesis PSU
Each model also came with a 400W power supply. The units were not really the highest of quality, but for beginners, they should do the job.

Hey, be a little nicer to Anand and the other reviewers!They do a good job and procude good quality reviews, and here you come and say it is crap. =(
Sure, many readers (including me) asked for reviews of nicer, more elegant cases. But the truth may be that it may not be so easy to find. And those that do exist, well, it might not be possible to get review samples.
Have respect!

seriously, who buys this crap. I'd rather have a hp/compaq/dell case than this.Cygni - Saturday, February 5, 2005 - link
"It's often tougher to get the more normal looking cases to review"Thats what i was thinking... if the case mft's want to move the more expensive ugly gimicky cases, thats what they will send out, im guessing. Although I agree, a watercooling review/round-up would be pretty interesting.

This is the last one, I put an end to that today. This is something I should've done a while ago but it's better late than never.It's often tougher to get the more normal looking cases to review, but I'd rather review nothing than do any more of these.
Take care,
Anand
