Acessories and Installation
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

The accessory set that came with GD01B-MXR is amazing: in addition to the traditional bag of screws, there is the multimedia panel software and a remote control that turns your computer into a DVD player. There is also a power cable you must install between the power supply and the motherboard, which powers the multimedia panel, allowing you to turn on the computer using the remote control. A pity was the lack of included batteries for the remote control, but nothing is perfect.

The user manual denotes it is a high-end product, printed on high quality glossy paper.

On Figures 18 and 19 you can see how the inside from GD01B-MXR looks like after building a PC. Although it isn't a very large case, all parts are well distributed, and it is even possible to install long video cards and big CPU coolers without major problems. The internal cooling is good, even with only two fans. But if you have a hotter system, just install the three optional fans and the internal airflow will improve.
