Inside Iceberg

This case uses a different opening mechanism. Instead of sliding the side panels to the back of the case to open it, you need to press two latches and slide the panel down in your direction to remove each side panel. We’ve seen a similar mechanism being used on Sigma Unicorn, but on this case from Sigma the side panels are kept attached to the case after you open them, thing that doesn’t occur on Iceberg.

Even though you can remove both side panels the motherboard tray is permanently attached to the chassis.

In Figure 8, you can see the left side panel, which has a small transparent window.

In Figure 9 you have an overall look at the interior of Raidmax Iceberg.

This case doesn’t use a screwless mechanism to fasten daughter boards to the case, but on the other hand it provides thumbscrews, allowing fastening cards without the need of using tools anyway. In fact we personally prefer this approach, as we’ve seen countless times these screwless mechanisms breaking because they are usually manufactured using cheap plastic. In Figure 10 you can also see the rear fan. This and all other fans use the traditional peripheral power connector, meaning that you can’t monitor the fan speed.
