Case Labs ships this case flat packed. This means you’ll spend the first half hour putting all the bits and pieces together. While doing that you get a great overview what will go where and how you can access it in the easiest way possible. Once you’ve put the chassis together you notice that all the key areas such as motherboard tray, drive cages and the place for the power supply are easily accessible. Since the motherboard tray is removable you can place the board on it while it’s not in the case, which makes the installation of the motherboard as simple as it can be. Also the installation of drives in the cages is very straight forward. If you don’t plan on installing any hard drives, you can use that area to install a triple radiator. Putting the power supply in place is as straight forward and there is plenty of space and cables can be hidden away nicely.
We’ve decided to equip this case with an extensive custom water cooling loop, for which we’re using a triple, a dual and a single radiator as well as a pump/reservoir combo unit. The 360mm radiator was place in the bottom left area, the 240mm radiator is in the left half of the front and the 120mm radiator has been tightened to the left half of the front. In combination with an ATX motherboard and a gaming graphics card there were no issues while putting everything together. |
