Enlight Case - Question

[chgo29]

I posted here several days ago about a new build - my first. I ordered the parts from Newegg. Got the first package yesterday - the case - and I've got to ask for help already. I got an Enlight EN-7255. It was supposed to include a 360 w power supply but there is no power supply in the case or the box. You can see that there was a power supply in the case at one time (circular marks around the screw holes) - and you can tell the box had been opened before so I'm speculating it was a "return" and Newegg didn't notice that the PS was missing. But, I'm sure Newegg will take care of it when I call Monday. They have been very good about resolving problems in the past. But, that development raises the question I would like to ask here. In the front of the case is a black, plastic enclosure with round cut-outs in the front of the case, which looks like a fan of some kind is supposed to go there. But, it is empty. So I'm wondering - since the power supply is missing, is whatever is supposed to go there also missing? The case does have a case ventilating fan in the back. I'm going to try to include a couple of pics. I thought maybe someone had a case like this and could tell me what is supposed to go there - so I'd know before I call Newegg Monday about the missing PS. Cliff

Sounds like a Newegg miss there - PSU should have definately been included. Be sure to preserve the box and the recipt that came with the case.

I don't own this particular case but I looked at Newegg's pictures. I don't think that the case has a fan on the front since I didn't see any blowholes (exhaust ports, call 'em what you want) in the front. I hope that newegg sent you the right case.

Btw, the Enlight link in your post isn't working for me. So here's the link that I went to:

A 80mm case fans fits into that black plastic housing, but it's not supplied with the case. Enlights ship with 1 fan installed in the back of the case. You have to buy another case fan separately...or just leave it out, the rear case fan may be enough for your system. Check the temps when you get your system together. If the temps appear to be on the high side, add a fan to the front. If the temps appear to be okay then you can probably do without the front fan.

None of my computers have a front case fan installed. Temps are okay and there's less noise that way.

When you contact newegg, I think that you should return the whole case for replacement rather than have them send you a power supply, that way you will get what you originally ordered. You know what it's like, first they will send you the wrong power supply, then there will be no mounting screws or a cable will be missing, if something can go wrong it will go wrong, for me I would change the ordered part rather than have them attempt to rectify the problem.

Thank you all for responding to my post. Cricket - your very specific answer to my question is SO helpful. And rjfvillarosa - I will do what you suggest - makes a lot of sense. It's so great to be able to talk to all you guys and get this kind of help. Thank You! Cliff
