What screws for the switch 810 to mount fans

[corban]

So my case arrived today and I am start to construct my build, first time watercooling but thought i had everything planned.

It appears that the 30 mm screws i was going to use wont go thru the fans in the top of the case then thru the case and then into the radiator.

Ive been to 2 local hardware shops (B&Q and Wickes) and neither had anything like the screws i required , is there something ive missed here ?

Does this mean i need to order online and wait even longer before building ?

And you are finding they secure the rad as well as going thru the fan and case ?

No probs here, I did need to push the rad up from underneath to get it right up against the holes and to get them to screw in though.

Fair enough , ill try that then

cheers.

put a couple small ones in the rad like the middle fan slot to secure the rad up there then do the outer 2 fans secured then put in middle fan simples

Did you manage to take the top bay out at all ? im at the point where everythings unscrewed and i think i need to pop the frontplate off just dont want to snap it!

I didn't remove the bay, i'm only having fans in the roof on my rad so I didn't bother messing with drive bays.

Fair enough i am as well but i want to fittings at the front of the case for tubing purposes and they wont fit with that bay in!

I just had a look in the manual that comes with it and it looks like you do need to remove the front panel and slide it out from the front.

EDIT: I just removed the front panel and there are 4 screws on the front, you need to remove those and then it should slide out from the back with the side screws out as well.

Yep thats what i want to do just the front panel i was a little afraid of removing as it didnt seem to come off that easily , didnt want to break it.

It comes off pretty easy to be fair, remove the dust filter first, then give it a little pull from the bottom and it should come loose. Then just gently work your way up pulling it out a bit at a time, just be careful when you get to the top part where the on/off switch is because part of it runs underneath it and you could damage it if you're not careful.

Turns out i was trying to take just the white top section off not the entire front panel , thanks for the advice and went and got some screws today from screwfix radiator in with fans on alas its oriented the other way around now but itll still work
