Installation Tips: 
1. This case ONLY supports slim optical drive. 
2. Use the special made hard drive noise reduction screws to 
install hard drive(s)
3. Do not perform cable management until your system is fully
configured. This will make the cable management a better 
smooth procedure. 
4. Do not install optional upgrade, i.e. video card etc. Use
everything on board (video & sound) to configure system and 
install operation system. After then, install the upgrades one 
by one and restart the system on every step to ensure 
component compatibility and save times of troubleshooting 
when issue arises. 
5. Case fan is quiet. If you hear abnormal loud noise, take off the
fan to hear the noise again to ensure not fan defectiveness, 
then re-install with properly screw.
