Questions about this item

How do I confirm the two Aspect 140 mm PWM fans are running after I build in the case?

Power on the system and check that both front 140 mm fans spin; verify their speeds in BIOS or fan-control software and feel airflow through the walnut front panel.

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The case includes two Aspect 140 mm PWM fans, two 3.5"/2.5" drive trays, two dedicated 2.5" mounts, a front dust filter and all mounting hardware; you must purchase a power supply, CPU cooler, motherboard, GPU, storage drives and any extra fans or radiators.

Which drive-bay configuration should I choose for my storage needs?

Use the two included 3.5"/2.5" trays for up to two 3.5" drives, add the two dedicated 2.5" mounts for SSDs, and buy one more tray if you need a third 3.5" bay.
