Page 3 of 4 The 120mm fan mounted above it does get rid of a lot of the "used" air from the cooler, because the fins are aligned in the right direction. All in all, if you want to use a custom heatsink/fan with this case a little modding would be in order to get it to fit properly. (However this would be awesome with something like a Zalman CNPS9500/9700, or any other cooler with a vertically mounted cooling fan pointed in the right direction) The next thing to be installed, the drives. One thing I noticed straight away is that you have to remove the HDD caddy to get at the 5.2 inch bays. This is not a major flaw, but it could prove to be a bit annoying later on down the line. Installing the power meter that came with my PSU was first, being at the bottom of the bays. This looks absolutely excellent next to the temperature display, and because of where the cables come out of the PSU, is really easy to hide the power cable for it, and all the drives too. Now to my Coolermaster Musketeer 3. Not the most useful of equipment, again however in this case it looks amazing, giving a real media centre feel to it. Before I installed the DVD drive, I decided to cable tie all my unused cables and place them in the second bay behind the Musketeer, as it only takes up a fraction of the bay. This made life very easy for cable management. After installing the DVD drive I installed the HDD caddy, which slides into place very nicely using two screws to fix it into position. Next, finishing and conclusion.
