Any reason why that hard drive is kind of jutting out?

I thought that was kinda odd too, but I'm pretty sure it's installed correctly. It's in there pretty good, at any rate.

It's how the Source 210 mounts drives. One of the few negatives of the case.

What sort of negatives? im looking to buy this case and im trying to gather ALL the negatives, to make sure i dont make the same mistake as i did with the Elite 430 manufactured by coolermaster (big mistake)

what is the light, is it uv?

node-OP•

It's blue. I had an extra blue cold cathode laying around and they said they wanted it to light up :) the case has no windows so I don't think UV would look at good.

Yeah, but having a light without a window is also kinda pointless... Also, im looking to get a cold cathode. But i cant find out how people are powering them. how did you power that one? Im guessing molex.
