Inside the Enermax Volcanus
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

Both side panels are fastened to the case using black thumbscrews, which is great to see, especially in a case from this price range. In Figure 7, you have an overall look at the inside of the Volcanus. The motherboard tray has a big hole around the area where the CPU is installed, allowing access to the backplate of the CPU cooler, so you can replace the cooler without having to remove the motherboard. The motherboard tray also has a few holes for you to route cables behind it. The motherboard tray doesn’t go all the way to the front panel, meaning that there is a communication between the area behind the disk drive bays and the back of the motherboard tray, allowing you to easily route and hide cables.

This case supports video cards up to 10.6” (270 mm) long.

In Figure 9 you have another overall look inside the case. Expansion cards are fastened to the case using individual plastic tool-less mechanisms.

Pay attention to the fact that the power supply can be installed with either its bottom fan facing up or facing down. Since this case doesn’t have a mesh on its bottom panel to match the power supply’s fan, you should install your power supply with its bottom fan facing up.
