Assembly


Installing the motherboard is done by traditional means, using spacers and screws. Thanks to the unique upper layout, you should have no issues reaching any of the connectors and naturally, there is plenty of space around the board.


Interestingly enough, the SSD trays come with two sets of mounting possibilities, so you can use screws on the side or bottom of the drive. This is great as you won't run into any compatibility issues regardless of whether you use a solid state or traditional drive, however thick it may be. Once filled, simply put the whole contraption back into place.


The metal 3.5" trays are as simple as they can get, but they also work well. Simply screw the drive down and put the tray back into its place.


Adding a power supply is also a no-frills endeavor with loads of space for even bigger units. You just have to ensure to install large liquid-cooling setups in the top before adding the PSU on the other side of the perforated divider.


With everything installed and the entire cable mess nicely hidden behind the motherboard tray, how spacious the chassis really is becomes apparent. In fact, it seems there is a lot of potential and space for storage mounts, or dedicated locations for reservoirs and pumps.

Finished Looks


With everything installed and the system turned on, you can clearly see the three square frames in the front due to the glass panel. In the rear, the same holds true for the fourth unit, and all the other elements are easily accessible because of the enclosure's size. As the main panel is also heavily tinted, you can't really see too much of what is within without taking a closer look.


You may cycle through a vast number of colors, animations, and lighting effect, which is pretty cool and makes the remote especially useful.
