Got the NSK 3480 for a build for my parents this week. Couple of things stuck out as being pretty poor when wiring everything up. The supplied SATA connectors on the PSU have this T-shape that prevents normal installation of SATA hard drives in either the top bay or at the bottom of the case.
Let me explain: when you've installed a hard drive on the grommet insulated sled and screwed it to the case, there is only a small amount of clearance between the SATA power connector on the drive, and the metal sheet below it. This means, when one is plugged in with the provided power supply, the wires coming out the bottom end of the SATA power connector collide with the metal below, raising the drive up on one side, and making the sound insulation sort of pointless. I couldn't even get the drive to install on the top bay because of this oversight.
In addition to that, the power supply has some pretty loud coil/capacitor squeal. Every movement of the mouse, scrolling of a page, or just cpu activity is clearly evident from the noise the power supply makes, and the -12v and -5v seem way off according to HW Monitor (-8v and -7v) but I'm willing to put that down to incorrect reading of the sensors by the program.
Anyone else had these issues with the case? I might have to cut a hole in the bottom just so that the hard drive can sit properly, with enough clearance for the SATA connection.
