Any Fractal Define C users out there ?

Fractal says max PSU length is 175mm. Anyone know if I remove the bottom HD cage is it possible to fit longer PSU's.

Also, is it better to cool with 2 x 140mm fans at the front or 3 x 120mm fans. I am thinking 3x120mm fans doesn't make sense as I won't be mounting any mechanical drives.

Thanks

Excellent. Thanks.

Corsair 140mm mag lev or the new Fractal Dynamic X2 GP-14 ?

The Fractal fans are good but at low I have found them to not be that silent. There is still an annoying buzz but the same can be said of the corsair fans I tried (not mag lev). My personal favourites (a bit pricey) are the Noiseblockers. Get whatever suits your budget.

Thanks. Might give the ML a go though I have read you need proper PWM support to get the full benefits and most boards only have true PWM on the cpu and opt cpu fan headers.

Cheers. Definitely think I will get this case. Put a low noise cooler like an NH15S or Dark Rock Pro 5 on. Probably replace the single front 120mm fan with a pair of Fractal X2 GP140's. Only minus is I will be limited to 3 2.5 inch drives on the back as the bottom hd bay will have to be removed to fit my Corsair HX1000i.

Is there anything comparable to this case. Was looking at the Ethnoo Pro M Glass.

Just ordered this case and an asus hero ix motherboard. Anyone know if a Predator 240 will fit under the roof if I use low profile ram ? The manual says motherboard top heatsink can't exceed 40mm.
