As always
we're also having a closer look at the interior at the point. As we
already mentioned, this is a case with half-height form factor and
therefore everything is very compact and densely packed. Basically this
case consists of two layers, where the board goes in the bottom and
SSD/HDD/ODD (ODD = optical disk drive) are installed on a carrier plate close to the top. There is
actually space for an SSD as well as an ODD or quite a few other
combinations, like for example HDD on the bottom side of the carriage
and SSD on the top side. If you start building your system it's
recommended to first stick the nuts to the motherboard. After that you
screw the motherboard to the stand-offs. Once this is done you need to
check if the NanoPSU fits underneath the cooler. This is only the case
with motherboard that have the ATX power connector at the top edge of
the board. If you find sufficient clearance, you can go a head and place
the cooler on the CPU and fix it with the screws in the delivery. In a
worst case scenario you might have to bend the heatpipes by a little
bit. Doing so you need to be very careful. Now it's time to screw the
heatpipes to the side panel. For that purpose make sure you use a decent
amount of thermal compound but at the same time don't use too much,
since you would be making a mess in this case.
Installation as well as assembly of the FC8 Evo from Streacom can take
quite some time. If you buy this case and you assemble everything on your
own, make sure you take your time to do everything perfectly right.
