Installation
Installing a mother board is pretty simple really. This case does not have a removeable motherboard tray, but it does not really need it as you can get good access to 3 side so the case. I did find that when installmy motherboard one of the case's pot rivets did get in the way a little, which mean't I could not put all the screws in. This would need a little filing to allow it to fit properly.

Once the mother board is in place there is still a resonable amount of room to manouver.

When installing a hard drive I did find that the cables did get in the way a little. Fortunately there is enough give in the cables to route tehm abve or below your hard drive, as shown.

[or below - the choice is yours]

I was a little concerned when it came round to installing the power supply. As there was only 10mm between the top of my cpu cooler and the power supply. This could restrict the cooling properties of the cpu cooler.


[not alot of room]

However, if you have a psu with a bottum vent it may help if the psu is drwing the hot air away from the case, and not into the cpu.

Once the motherboard and psu are installed the back of the case looks like it should do.
