Hello, I feel this wouldn't be useful in support considering I don't have the nemesis yet.

Im planning on buying a Nemesis Elite in July, just a few questions concerning the nemesis.

1) First of all, I'm hoping for an all rounded green LED case. I'm very interested in the look, and love the idea of the green LED eye to be given off. However does the case have inbuilt blue LED's or are these just the three 120mm blue LED fans in the case? If so, are these fans accessible to be altered and replaced without damaging the case entirely?

2) Is the "Nemesis" or the heat monitor on the top colours alterable?

More important:
3) Can the Nemesis hold large cards such as the Geforce 9800 GX2?

4) I've heard about this "no motherboard tray", may I ask what this is about? and if so how will I resolve this easily?

5) Is it possible to wire up more than the 3 LED fans, e.g. 120/80mm fans on the top of the case or bottom? or is the case not large enough for this or is it not worth it? Sound isn't the issue I'm concerned with.

6) Is their any specific wiring I need to know about? and if so would I require to buy the wiring?

Thank you, and I hope these questions are not too badly filled with grammar errors/easy to answer. ;)

I'm not sure about all of those because I don't work for NZXT, but:

3) Yes, it fits an 8800GTX; the new 9800 series cards are the same size, so you shouldn't have any problems. The most you could end up having to do would be to put the card in before you install the CPU cooler.

4) Some cases come with motherboard trays which are basically just sheets of metal that a motherboard can be installed onto outside of the case - this sheet with the motherboard attached it then slid into the case. I don't think any NZXT cases come with them, but I don't see any real need for them and I don't understand why reviewers sometimes point this out as a negative point about certain cases...

5) Do you mean, put more fans alongside the others in the case? If so, how would the air enter the case? You'd have to drill holes/mod the case in order to install them...

I wouldn't be worried about airflow though.

6) Everything that you'll need to install the components into the case comes with the case (ie. to connect USB ports and audio ports on the case to the motherboard, all the necessary cables come ready to plug into the motherboard; the same goes for the temperature sensors.)

Cheers, much appriciated mate :)

Ah okay about the tray, sounds quite pointless and its fine just adding it directly into the case. Everything sounds great. So air flow is fine at default? that sounds good. Thanks again.

If anyone can answer 1 and 2 would be nice, only it doesnt matter as much as the main reasons for wanting the case have been answered concerning preformance.

To answer question 1 and 2:

The Elite comes with an interchangable multi-color LED front eye. This can be changed by a button on the back of the front panel. The chassis itself away from the front panel is lit by the blue LED fans on the case. The "Nemesis" light is actually a blue LED status light. Can't forget about the LCD temperature display on top of the case, which is blue.
I personally like the overall blue LED theme but it would be nice to be able to change the side lights along with the eye. Unfortunately, those fans are too expensive to be sold with a case of this price range.

Alright thank you to you both. Much appriciated, i'll stick around on the fourms and post back probably any reviews or what ever once I manage to buy the case. - Have to get it shipped from America, no UK retailers provided or from what i've researched sells the Nemesis elite, one place sold it in Silver apparntly but then they said they've now stopped.

Thanks again guys.
