ok since y'all had ur hands on one can ya answer me a question lol. It includes 2 140mm fans in the front correct? So can it support a 280mm rad up front??? Cant see why not but havent really seen a good pic showing why not lol. I'd like to add another 280mm rad to my build and I think it'll go good there. 420mm top 280mm floor 280mm front overkill but hey why not lol.
overkill but hey why not lol.Phanteks says one PWM fan hub is included with case. It has been said we will be able to buy additional hubs later but no date given. The sooner the better. I need a 2nd fan hub or will have to use a PWM splitter for PWM fans.
They also say we will be able to buy replacement parts for case.. be nice to be able to buy an extra front door to modify.. a vent w/ grill in front door and change front vent center to a matching grill. Would also like to make the base taller so the vent area is closer to bottom fan area. Looks like stock base only has enough vent area for one fan.

It is specifically designed for a 280mm rad up front. Download the manual for details.
One thing: if your front rad is too thick (more than standard thickness), you lose your HD holders. Then you'll need 5.25" adapters. Silverstone and Lian Li make them, but you would need to leave the front door open.
However, you can put such rads both top and bottom.
As I said in the review, using Y-cables you can hook at least 11 fans to the PWM hub. My suspicion is that using the Molex connector will allow you to hook even more fans to it.
It works by varying Voltage, based on the PWM command from the motherboard.
