I have kind of a dumb question about this case:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146079&Tpk=nzxt%20phantom%20green&IsVirtualParent=1
All but one of the LEDs are working. The one that isn't working is the second LED behind the power button. If anyone knows what this LED is supposed to indicate so I can tell if it should be lit or not, it would be appreciated. The "manual" that came with the case is absolutely worthless.

I think what you mean is the Hard Drive Activity LED. It should work if your hard drive is processing something, but it will only blink on and off in random fast increments. If it does not work at all, check the wires to the motherboard or if you only have SSDs then it might not work it all for that reason. They have no moving parts. If its not that, then its probably broken but honestly it isn't even worth sending back. I never feel the need to see what my HDD is doing.

I did only have a SSD plugged in at first, but I plugged in my mechanical HD and I still didn't see anything. I'm pretty sure all of my wires are plugged in correctly, unless theres supposed to be one going to the HDD as well to, which I wouldn't imagine being the case. I know it isn't that big of a deal, but things like that kinda annoy me. Something about buying something brand new and it not being in total working condition irks me.

Thanks for the info man.

Yea and also make sure your computer is actually doing something when you can hear the hard drive moving. Other than that good luck.
