As it's £39.98 at the moment I thought I might buy one.

One question though, it says:

- 1 rear 120 x 25 mm TriCool™ Fan with 3-speed switch control.
- 1 top special 140 x 25 mm TriCool™ Fan with 3-speed switch control
- 2 front (optional) 120 mm fans to cool the hard drives
- 1 side (Optional) 120 x 25 mm Fan to cool graphic cards

This means that the two TriCool ones come with it, and the other three are not included correct? Or does it mean you can remove them?

:confused:
 
Correct. Comes with 1 x 120mm tri-cool on the rear, 1 x 140mm tri-cool up top and the other 3 x 120mm are 'optional' which is a polite way of saying buy your own :p
 
Thought so! aha.

For one hard drive would it be worth getting the two fans to put in? Or is it like you only need one if you have one hard drive or whatever.
And do you think I should get a 120x25 for the gfx card, or would it not fit with a HD 6850 in it.. I've seen so many things of people having to take out fans because of gfx cards/cpu coolers/etc...

And if so, suggestions for the hard drive ones and graphics card one?;D


Sorry for asking so much D:
 
I'd fill the remaining 3 slots with intake fans, as typically the two fitted fans would be used as exhaust.
 
I didn't bother with the side fan on my 300. I cut it out and fitted a side window instead! I know the insides of the 300 are pretty tight. I'm not sure if you would struggle with your cooler with the side fan fitted so can't say for sure. I've used Akasa Viper 120mm fans in the front of my 300 and I've been impressed with those so far. They shift a good amount of air and are quiet on low speeds but they are a little expensive.

the others are not included, its a good case, but if you want to put a graphics card in it takes up 2 of the hard drive slots. I have one and its very tough, but the fans are not great
 
I've managed to squeeze a GTX 260 + 4 HDD's in mine :D

I also never bothered with the side panel fan, just 2 in the front pulling air in and the back/top pulling air out.
 
This is a good case. I have the top and rear as exaust also using the rear for my h50. I have fitted a fan to the side as intake aswell as the front two. Ive got 2 Radeon 5670HD 1gb in crossfireX and 3 hdd's plus a ssd oh and 2 dvd/cd writers aswell so plenty of room for hardware. Only thing i had an issue with is the cable management sucks you dont have holes in the motherboard tray as you do in most cases to route your cables through. other than that this is a great case and provides you with great cooling.
