Link to the case
Have to say i'm a little bit dissappointed.
This case is advertised in its specs as having room for 2 front 120 or 140mm fans.
The 120mm fans fit fine, but I bought a 140 mm fan and it doesn't fit at all. This is the fan I bought. NZXT Technologies NZXT FZ-140mm Red LED Cooling Fan.
Right now its working (its wedged between the front panel and the case, but this is not optimal).
So why doesn't it fit?
1. The screws that come with the fan are way too big to fit into the 140mm spaced holes on the case.
2. The 140mm spaced holes on the case are not even accessible.. no screw would fit there. The holes are actually halfway blocked by the metal bracket (part of the case) that is used to support DVD/etc drives. Like what the hell? There's no way to remove that bracket either.
Why did they build the case in this way but advertise it as saying 140mm fans can fit on the front? They clearly can't. I'm going to keep the 140mm wedged in like it is (surprisingly its not making any rattling or anything, but its still not secure), but it's lame it can't be screwed in.
Did I do something wrong or is this a design flaw?
