Raidmax Case Question

[3jameo3]

I bought a case from a flee market that looks almost exactly like this case:

 https://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16811156018

 

The differences are there is 4 80?mm fan spots in front of the HDD cage and a single 50mm or 60mm exhuast fan place under the psu mounting area, as well as it doesn't have the fan grills on the windowed side panel. Plus it is missing the obvious raidmax imprints inside the case.

 

Does anyone know what case this actually is? (W-L answered this question) I am planning on putting brand new parts inside of it and adding some externals to it as well but not knowing exactly what case this is is hindering my plans a bit.

Looks like the Raidmax case just a different iteration of it with smaller fans, here is the green version of that same chassis layout.

Seems like it is a Raidmax case after all thanks for clearing that up W-L. Does anyone know the fan sizes minus the side windows fans?

Since you have the case it would be easiest to just measure between the fan holes and match to the corresponding fan, however if you had the room I would probably just zip tie a 120mm or 140mm fan instead as many of those smaller fans are mediocre at best.

Measure inbetween the fan holes in what way exactly? I measured from the top of the top fan hole to the bottom of the bottom fan hole and it was 55mm. So if I am supposed to measure from the bottom of the top to the top of the bottom then I would say it would be a 50mm fan. Though now I'm wondering if the PSU would actually do a better job at exhuasting the heat yet at the same time if I get one of those that shuts off the fan when not under a heavy load by accident I'd hate to see the internal temps.

 

Considering how small the holes are in the front panel area I could just make 4 of them a bit bigger and screw in a 140mm sp fan. I didn't think of that idea before your zip tie idea that would work a lot better for pushing air than 4 low cfm tiny fans would thanks for another great idea W-L.

The mounting holes where the fans go basically this list here it shows what fan sizes they will be in regards to the mounting holes for the fans:

Screw hole spacings and fan sizes

32mm between screw holes	40mm fan size
40mm between screw holes	50mm fan size
50mm between screw holes	60mm fan size
60mm between screw holes	70mm fan size
72mm between screw holes	80mm fan size
83mm between screw holes	92mm fan size
105mm between screw holes	120mm fan size

Oh so that is how fan sizes work, one of these days I wish companys wouldnt do things like that to make everything less confusing. Now I have a better idea in my head on what all I am going to do to this case to make it into a decent PC. I just have to remember to make some dust filters for it so my dogs don't clog it up.

 

Thanks for all of your help and insight on this W-L.
