Page 13: Using The Upper Fan Brackets
Using the Upper Fan Brackets The upper fan brackets can accommodate any size fan between 92 to 140mm and has a length of 240mm which allows for 1 x 140mm, 2 x120mm or 3 x 92mm fans. The brackets DO NOT allow for a mix of different sizes, so for example, you can not mount 92 and 120mm fans at the same time. These brackets can also support water cooling radiators with a maximum size of 240mm. -

All air vents have been fitted with detachable grills which can be removed without the need to open or disassemble anything inside the case. The grills have been chosen to reduce internal dust buildup without impeding cooling performance, but over time will require cleaning as dust naturally builds up.
