Building a System

We built a PC using the case to learn how it was like building a system using the reviewed product.

The building experience was very positive. The motherboard is attached directly to the right panel thru a series of transparent standoffs, which are far taller than the traditional brass standoffs used on regular cases. This makes the motherboard to be at a very good distance from the right panel, improving the air flow and preventing overheating.

The side panels are attached to the case using thumbscrews, making it very easy to close or to remove them.

The only thing we didn’t like about the building process was the fact that for fastening daughter boards regular screws are used. We think the manufacturer should have included thumbscrews there, especially when you think that the case comes with 60 thumbscrews to be used on all external parts.

On the pictures below you can see our mid-range PC built using this case.
