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.

    is it me or does anandtech not listen to its readers... a lot of us want to see non-gimicky decent funtional cases, for example, cases designed for water cooling, cases designed for lots of room, cases designed to be quiet (btx? (just a suggestion, not looking for trouble)), all of the above and so on.

    not saying to stop review those .... umm, argh.. i-don't-even-know-what-to-call-'em-anymore cases. some ppl like those cute ugly things

    what do you think Purav. i'm not being unreasonable, am i?
