nice clean build - where'd you put your Hard disk drive?

In the back, I preferred the SSD on the front. I am surprised they only really made extra bays at the back for SSDs.

A quick question, can you use a Corsair H100i with push/pull fans?

All depends where your ports are on your motherboard, although you can buy extensions for them if that helps.

YOUR BASKET
1 x BitFenix Alchemy 2pin I/O extension 30cm - White £3.95
Total : £6.23 (includes shipping : £1.90).

Right Ive an issue with the hot swap bays. There is a ticking noise coming from one of them. I thought it was the HDD first but when I had it taken out the noise was still there. If i press down on the connection it goes away. Anyone come across this before ?

It's just a cable, it can't be ticking. It sounds like vibration through the case from some other component, a fan perhaps?

All fans were turned off including CPU fans just to double check and it was clicking. If i press it down it stops but leave go and it starts again. Strange one :confused:

We can always send you the updated front I/O panel with the longer cables. Submit a request for it and we'll be able to sort it out for you.
