Inside Beta EVO
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

The left panel is fastened to the case using thumbscrews, but the right panel uses regular screws. In Figure 8 we have an overall look from inside Beta EVO. This first thing that caught our attention was the presence of a big hole on the motherboard tray under the place where the CPU is installed for you to have access to the back plate from the CPU cooler, allowing you to upgrade your CPU cooler with a model that uses a different kind of back plate without needing to remove the motherboard from the case. Beta EVO also has three big holes on the motherboard tray for routing cables behind it.

Since the power supply goes on the bottom part of the case, EVO Beta has a dust filter on the bottom of the case to match the power supply fan (on models that have a fan on their bottom part, which is the majority nowadays).

Daughter boards are fastened to the case using regular screws and we wouldn’t expect anything different on a case from this price range, even though it would be nice seeing at least thumbscrews here. In Figure 11 you can have an interesting view from inside the case showing the meshed slot covers, the mesh above the expansion slots and the meshes for optional fans, making Beta EVO to look like a cage.
