311+ User reporting in Besides the two supplied fans can I add more?

i think this casing has limited fan slot, u might need to get a 5.25 fan slot to fit more fan

it only has an intake & exhaust right?? so not possible to add more unless ur modding it... but you may always replace the fans with better ones should you wish to do so

That's what I thought.. Thinking of modding but dunno what the hell to do.. lol... Seems like noone mod a 311+ before..

Mother of God. You seriously need to manage your cables. Use cable tie and reroute the cables to the back of the casing through the holes. Look back a few pages on what happened to my casing

I suggest you do some cable management to improve the airflow. Slot in the front IO wires into the back panel. Case is kinda small, i don't think you need to sleeve cable, just tie it in and hide most wires as much as you can.

I feel like sleeving to give it a better look. Now regret, I was so engrossed in the performance spec I simply choose a small case :/

The front panel wires i've tried to put them behind and pull em up from the lowest hole, not long enough, later i'll try with the right hole(covered by wires cant see).. But even like this I have a hard time fitting the right side cover back on... And SATA cables how do you guys manage? Mine's long and firm, hard to bend, even if bend dunno where to bend it

I hope mine here give you some idea about cable management

Well no one can blame you to go cheap on the chassis.. the 311+ is not a bad chassis as well as demonstrated by Kytz you could use his pict as a reference for your cable management

Tucked and align those wires nicely, its kinda huge cable there. The panel must be flat and not much room, but you gotta squeeze in the cable nicely. Do not force the side panel too hard, might get huge bulge.

Good and proper cable management done by cyntrix there.

Damn that looks good.. o.o didn't realize we can tuck wire behind the mobo

That's usually how you see most people's casings are super clean

But beware loh, the space is kinda narrow. Had a lot of trouble trying to position them properly so that I can put back the side panel properly

My next aim- HAF 912 Advanced

have to try it out then.. Don't have to remove mobo to to so right?

BTW CCFLs, do they emit alot of heat?

Err... I'd suggest that you do remove the mobo first and then tuck them wires.... the Audio cables are not that thin... use low-tack tape to place them in position then place your mobo back on..

CCFL emits little if any heat at all.... hence the name... "Cold Cathode Fluorescent Light"

My CM 690 II Advanced Case..


Close up..

nice one, too regret i bought the usp100 cause unable to top up to cm690II

Can't see the whole side view. Neat front portion.

its better if you tie up the fan wires and hide it below the fan rather than wrap it around the fan which seems to be ugly...cable tie is really necessary in this..

Then I think I'll pass for putting wires behind mobo, very lazy to remove mobo and put it back in lol..

Okay I was just double checking on the CCFL Does it use 4 pin molex?
