All cases have PC Speakers. When you plug in the little cables from the case into your motherboard there is a bigger one labeled Speaker. The speaker just beeps, as it tells you if it detects a problem with your hardware. Your motherboard manual will tell you what each of the beeps mean.

Features ten 5.25" external drive bays, one 3.5" external drive bay, eight 3.5" internal drive bays, a 120mm optional rear fan, two blue LED 140mm side fans, and two 230mm blue LED silent fans.
Linked. Interesting looking option. Looks like the 8 internal 3.5 bays share space with 6 or 7 of the external 5.25 bays, so it's not as huge as the specs might indicate.

Wow! I wonder if Antec's legal department had anything to say about this design? Pretty good copy of a 900/1200, huh?

Got my case today, I hope someone can help with a couple of questions:
Am I correct that the case speaker is just a loose piece which hangs off the mobo speaker 'jack'
There are three plastic pieces, one is a 'spacer', and the other 2, see to be for some screws, does the spacer 'need' to be used ?
is white '+' for mobo connections ?

thanks

You just plug it in, and it dangles there.cheaprulz said:There are three plastic pieces, one is a 'spacer', and the other 2, see to be for some screws, does the spacer 'need' to be used ?Some motherboards require them. For atx/matx motherboards, the stand-offs are built into the case and you won't have to use the spacers provided.cheaprulz said:is white '+' for mobo connections ?Nope. The colored cord is positive (+). This is usually the case. Usually.

EDIT: For the motherboard speaker, black is negative, red is positive. Usually.

When in doubt, black and white are usually negative, colors are usually positive. Sometimes green is ground, unless of course it's used in conjunction with a black or white wire, in which case it may be positive. Usually.

cheaprulz said:My HDD light doesn't work, when I reverse the connection to the mobo the light is permanently on, and orange, is this a mobo or chassis problem ?Sounds actually like a motherboard problem, not sending the signal that the hd is in use. You can test this theory by plugging another known-working LED into the hdd led pins. If it works, you know it's the case. If it doesn't work, you know it's the motherboard. It doesn't hurt to plug a power LED where an HDD LED is supposed to go.
