Has anyone come across any problems with this case. I am thinking of ordering it. Will the noctua nh-d14 Fit in this case. Anything that might keep me from buying.

D14 will fit, iv seen several builds with it. Things to take into consideration with this case:

very long video cards like the 5970 just fit, and only when u remove the fan grill from the case.

the length of ur DVD drive can be an issue. the top bay only accept short drives and when running Crossfire/SLI you may have issues with the length of the drive in all bays. using 90 degree plugs seems to help. These imgs from benchmarkreviews.com shows what I am talking about:

other than that its a kick ass case imo

Thanks for the info, i think i will have to check it out. I hate spending so much on a case and not be able to see and feel it first. I do like it a lot......

i've had this over a year now and as far as i can see there is not problems with it apart from the dvd drive issue which can be fixed by getting a external unit. Air flow is great although i recommend replacing the exhaust fan with something quieter.

For air cooling, a great case

For water cooling, not so great unless you do some mods to it.
