Nexus Prominent 5 Case Review

Inside the Nexus Prominent 5 (Cont’d)

In Figure 14, you have another overall look inside the case. Expansion cards are fastened to the case using individual plastic tool-less mechanisms. The fan that comes installed on the top panel is a 140 mm sleeve bearing model (Nexus DX14SL-12, 1
,000 rpm, 46 cfm, 18 dBA). This fan uses a regular peripheral power connector and a three-pin fan power connector, so you can install it directly on your power supply or on your motherboard.

Figure 14: Overall look

The Prominent 5 supports video cards up to 11.8” (300 mm) long.

Note that the power supply can be installed with either its bottom fan facing up or facing down, so you can decide if you want the fan of your power supply pulling air from inside the case or from outside of it.

The case comes with a rubber foam that goes between the power supply and the rear panel, helping to absorb vibrations and, thus, noise.
