Hey guys,
Not sure if this is where my question belongs (so the admins can feel free to move it to the appropriate section if need be) but here goes: I found an old Thermaltake Shark Case at a friend's house and he let me have it. Coincidently I am in the process of building a new computer, and since it's a full tower, I thought myself lucky. But as I started building I started questioning my luck. I did some research on it and it seems this is quite an old case with an old design. The hard drive "enclosures" are odd and don't seem to "grab" the HDDs firmly enough (in my case two ssds in an HDD type enclosure), the fans work with 4 pin molex connectors, and the power led is 3 holed instead of the more contemporary 2 or even 1 holed ones, which my motherboard can’t correctly accommodate (and hence the power led does not turn on). So the question: should I upgrade to a newer full tower setup? I know it might seem like I answered my question, but I still wanna hear what you guys have to say.
My system specs are (just for the sake of listing them, just in case):
MSI Z170A Gaming M5
Intel Skylake 6700
NVIDIA 970FTW
The ssds in the enclosure I mention above
16gb DDR4
Thanks,
Volteau
