I really love the case and find to my surprise these huge fans are very quiet
I would like to add another of these fans to the top as there is an option to add an additional one
Anyone know where I could purchase a coolermaster 200mm fan... don`t think they sell them at overclockers ?

Cheers all
mrix

You need to check CoolerMaster netherlands online parts store:

I think they sell 200mm fans. :cool:

Any chance you will be getting the AMD version?
Looks pretty cool with the leo logo on the window

Yeah it's amazing how quite the fans are...I keep checking to make sure they are on!

re:

Something I always forget and there is never any documentation within the instructions is, what is the + and - on the leads?

There is.....

red and white twisted lead

orange and white twisted lead blue and white twisted lead

green and white twisted lead.

Would I be right in thinking the white is always the negative - lead ????

cheers

hi can someone with this case tell me what fans are included and what are optional

re:

Bottom front with red led light is a 230mm coolermaster fan.... at the top there is the same but a 200mm without red led.
There is an option to add a further 200mm fan in the top.
There is also a 140mm coolermaster fan attached to the rear but I replaced with my H50 120mm fan.
There is another 200mm in the side panel.

So 4 fans included and 1 optional.

one more question what needs doing to use usb 3

To use usb 3.0 route the cable to an internal or external usb 3.0 port on the PCI-E card/motherboard. The usb 3.0 cables are just male to male extensions.

OR

To convert to 2.0, just swap the usb 3.0 cables with this supplied adapter, attach to motherboard.

sorry i don't understand, do i need the wire to be external or can it be done internally

If you want to use usb 3.0, just route the cable around the back of the motherboard, through one of the holes, and water cooling ports and finally to your motherboard.

Or you can use and internal usb 3.0 card (pci-e), to which you can then connect the cables to.

Or if you do not want usb 3.0, you can use the supplied adapter, and connect directly and internally to the MB, having 2 extra usb 2.0 ports.

Hope this helps.

re:

Basically the case comes with 2 fairly long blue usb 3 cables already attached to the front USB3 connectors.
All you basically have to do is take the top of the case off then pull the usb3 connectors out and replace with the usb2 connectors / leads that they have already supplied for you

Just rout the black usb2 leads down where the usb3 lead were.
Its just a case then of pluging them into your board how you would normally.

thanks i don't want to be able to see the wire, it'll be connected to my mb, so am I right in thinking its possible without seeing the wire

The usb 2.0 adapter will not be visible (all internal).

PAULRYAN52 · 10 Jul 2010 at 16:44

thanks all, i had this vision that to use usb 3 i would need a wire running out of the front of the case and in the back
