thats normal laa bro... good airflow maaa  rclxms.gif

yup i like the airflow which i mount 5 120mm fan, but at the end the dust problem makes me hate the case...
thinking to mod this case, but the cost of buying tools (such as rotary tools and so on) are much more higher than buying a new good case.

Carbide 400R is designed for up to ATX form factor. Rampage III Extreme is an exception since it belongs to the Extended-ATX gang. Regular ATX motherboards are highly unlikely to have the ports blocked.

you own one? if yes then it worth buy for me nod.gif

i guess cm elite 311 plus is black interior. hmm.gif

@em0ti0n, depending on the cable management n also the fans. if u would like to get a high airflow case fan then it would b good but it is very noisy n u might need to clean your casing frequently. smile.gif
*
noisy> can use F12 fan or other silent fan..
dusty> well, cant avoid it..

low airflow>> sked that it will become oven inside and killing the hardware sweat.gif
but i think this case is good enough if there is not much hardware inside smile.gif

just share my opinion about this case icon_rolleyes.gif
