Hello everyone, I have made this post because i am at my wits end. I have spent two days, with my girlfriends help, trying to identify my computer case. I will include pictures. The case itself can have a dual fan or two fans mounted on the back and on the bottom of the front there is a spot for a single fan. There are 4 optical drive bays, 2 media bays, 5 hdd/ssd bays, and 7 pci card panels. The Left panel has a vent tube that almost covers the processor fan. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I have contacted the person who gave me the case. But haven't herd back yet. All I am hoping to find is any information about the case.

@harry_james_pot: Honestly I don't know. I've had it for about 7 or more years.

Just looks like a generic case from back in the day. In those days cases didn't really come with branding much.

Question is, WHY do you want to know?

Just measure the fans and get the same sized fans.

Just from the pictures looks like you will need 80mm for the rear and you can put an 80mm on the side panel for intake for cpu. The front bottom looks like it can take two different fan sizes measure the distance between the screw holes to be sure

Huh? Are you joking?

Just use a ruler or a tape measure?

OK, thanks for the help. my girlfriend and i think a 120mm will fit the front. as for the back ideally i want to find a dual fan combo as i will only have one 3 pin power source on the board left. the power supply i currently have in it only has one molex. which at the moment is connected to an optical drve.

You can get fans that use 4 pin molex and you can hook up a few fans to the same molex connector from psu. You can grab a 80mm four fan pack for like $13 on newegg. LINK

@04dcarraher: Untill I either get a Sata to molex converter or a sata optical drive I will stick with the 3-pin connections. Also, Why would i need a 4 pack of fans? I only plan on getting a duel fan for the back and maybe a fan for the side (but not likely).

You can buy 3 pin fan splitters for a few dollars.

@kraken2109: Yea, one came with the 120mm front fan i just bought. But everything is on hold now thanks to my motherboard wont output any video or audio.
