Corsair Vengeance C70 questions

[Davidthewin]

Hi, I'm probably going to be buying a Vengeance C70 in February but I have a few questions first.

1. Can the perspex window be unscrewed and mounted with the grill towards the front end of the case so that the clear part of the window is facing the motherboard? I wont' be using the fan slots there so that isn't a problem.

2. Do the front panel USB3.0 ports connect to the motherboard or do you need to loop a USB cable through to the back of the motherboard IO like on the 600t?

3. Do the supplied fans have a LEDs?

4. Is there any way to lock the side panel?

Thanks for the help

You should be able to get some answers from here if you haven't already watched it:

I've watched it twice but I have seen a build with red LED fans and the guy didn't mention if he'd changed his fans so I wasn't sure. I saw that there was no visible way of locking the case but if there was an easy mod to lock the panel, especially considering how easily it opens I think it would be more viable for LANs. In the video he also mentioned dremelling the mounts for the window but I wasn't sure if that would be required if you were just reorienting the window. The system was also already wired so I couldn't see the USB3.0 connectivity, nor have I been able to find it in any other reviews.

The windows direction can move the fan grills to the front of the case, but you cannot put fans on it as there is not space between it and the bay.

2. Do the front panel USB3.0 ports connect to the motherboard or do you need to loop a USB cable through to the back of the motherboard IO like on the 600t?

The front ports have a direct 3.0 style cable that plugs right into the mobo and gives you a 2.0 adapter

3. Do the supplied fans have a LEDs?

No Leds on the fans

4. Is there any way to lock the side panel?

No, but if you mod it, you can create your own.

Thanks for the help

I probably did the video you saw with the red fans on youtube. I didnt see anyone else with a white case and red fans on there. So feel free to ask me questions.
