The included instructions are not very clear when it comes to installation of the components
but since we had an early revision of this bench table, we had a pretty good idea what to do and how to mount levels and components. The process is not complicated so it should be very easy to mount. As we said, the top level is for
the motherboard and the other hardware components, so in order to install the motherboard you need to place the standoffs, nothing complicated. The lower level holds the HDDs, 5.25" peripheral and the power supply. Regarding the power supply, we used a modular
model without any problems regarding space or the cable management. The power supply has a place in back part of the level and can be mounted easily with just four thumb screws.
The HDDs and SSDs are located in the front part of the lower level and
are screwed to the cages with thumb screws and anti-vibrations washers. In addition, on the left external side,
it is also possible to install a single "on-the-fly" HDD or SSD.
For our test we used an ASUS mATX form factor motherboard. We did not see any incompatibility problems with
the memory or the CPU cooler, and the installation was simple as expected. Also, the support for the expansion cards fit perfectly into the holes of the graphics card so it does not need any pressure on the brackets or other components.
The ventilation of the Dimastech Nano allows the installation of one 120mm fan on the flexible arm, but on the official site, you can purchase additional supports. |
