Thread Starter 
What is the difference between standard, 64mm or 85mm, I defiantly want it ventilated because im going to be loading this thing with rads.What is the difference between these, and do i need the 85mm ventilated?
Also, for the HDD cage, should i do standard or flex bay and what is the difference? And does the mobo matter if its reversed or not? its an extra $20.

Let me try to address your questions.

The two tops provide 64mm and 85mm of clearance above the frame for radiators and/or fans. They can be particularly helpful on the M10 and MH10 because of the limited clearance over the MB on those cases. They can also make installation and maintenance a little easier.

Withe the HDD cages the Flex-Bay version is used in the 5.25" bays ("Flex-Bays" = 5.25 bays). The other mount is designed to fit where the large holes are on the PSU side of the case.

Reasons that some people prefer reverse layouts:

  1. You can see your hardware if the case has to sit to the left of you.
  2. The "good" side of the graphics cards are visible.
  3. Hot running GPU's are put at the top of the case for cooling purposes.
  4. Sometimes easier to route tubing for certain builds.


Hope that helps smile.gif

Sorry to necro this thread but I was wondering if the 64/85mm tops are interchangeable with the standard top. For example could I get the standard top and buy the extended top later if i wanted to jam even MORE radiators into this beast?

Yes you can definitely do that.
64mm and 85mm tops are interchangeable with the standard top.
I was thinking of ordering an extended top myself actually.
