Posted January 18, 2018 I have this case I bought several months ago so that I could build a sleeper pc (I'm a total beginner to this world of pc building. lol). However, there are a bunch of things that I've noticed. -It only has a single side panel. BTW. Is it okay not to screw the other side of those drives? -There is only one fan hole in the case. Is this case worthy for a pc build? All I can think of as of now is to drill fan holes at the bottom. But how can I do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's what I think. 13 minutes ago, d.e.a.t.h. said: I have this case I bought several months I feel sorry even if you paid $1 for it as you should've just searched for someone that wants to get rid of one and get it for free. But hey, that's just me. I had a couple and donated them. 14 minutes ago, d.e.a.t.h. said: I'm a total beginner to this world of pc building I'm gonna judge you a little bit by saying that's a bold move, being a newbie but you went straight to a sleeper build. Nonetheless I appreciate your try. 17 minutes ago, d.e.a.t.h. said: build a sleeper pc What would be the specs? They have to be something good in order to have it's name of sleeper build.

Posted January 18, 2018 You have to cover the side by some ways since 'sleeper' means hiding its true potential from the looks. Also the drive cages wont let you use cards longer than reference, so those have to go as well.

Is it okay not to screw the other side of those drives?"" This means that the case has only 1 panel, not 2 as usually with other cases. This also means that the right side is riveted, no removable panel. That's why he's asking why if it's ok not to screw the hard rives from the other side, because he cannot access the right hand side.

Sleeper PCs aren't really a sleeper if you can see the inside contains high-end hardware because there is no side panel IMO. This is the other side of the case.
