Installation

Overview

   
 
The interior space of the Pandora's BitFenix is not small, despite the rather modest size of the case. The motherboard tray features pre-soldered standoffs and there is a big opening behind the socket, which should make the installation of aftermarket cooling systems quite easy. Located on the motherboard tray are three openings for routing cables and there is a lot of space between the motherboard tray and the right panel, which should allow a neat cable management. We particularly appreciate the choice made by Bitfenix regarding rubber grommets since these are extremely difficult to remove once the cable is inserted. As far as the storage options on Pandora are concerned, you get enough room to install up to two 3.5" HDD and three 2.5" SSD. In this case, unlike many other PC cases on the market, you do not get an area dedicated exclusively to storage systems but these are located in various areas of the case. To be precise, it is possible to install two SSD and an HDD at the bottom of the case, near the PSU, while another SSD can be mounted behind the motherboard tray and an additional 3.5" HDD can be mounted at the top of the case. For our test we used an mATX motherboard with a liquid cooling system based on a 240 millimeter radiator. As you can see from the pictures below, the interior space is quite good. The dimensions of the CPU cooler are limited in height, but as far as the graphics cards are concerned, there is pretty much no limit in size, as you can fit any graphics card currently available on the market.
