Assembly Procedure
The first components to install were the motherboard and the AIO, with the RAM sticks preinstalled. The AIO was mounted on top, around the middle. The GPU came in next, and lastly, four RX120 were installed, three as intake on the bottom and one as exhaust at the back. You may find our review of the RX 120mm fans here.
Inside the secondary chamber, we installed the PSU and the iCue link. We decided to remove the HDD cage as we do not use older-type drives in our demonstration builds, which improved the building experience.
Finished System
The finished system. The ARGB fans look nice, especially in low-light conditions.

What about the top and side panels coming warped out of the box ? And the awful filter material inside the side panel which can easily come loose. The mediocre cable management (having to buy straps), no support holder for PSU, no removable top rad bracket and almost no offset so eps cables a challenge when mounting AIO. Also the incredible weight. Antec c8 and others are built better and better value.
We didn’t face any issues with the top and side panels; otherwise, we would have written about it. I will also pass your comment about the side panel material to the reviewer to comment if he wants.
No support holder for the PSU? I didn’t understand that.
When mounting a top AIO most cases have an issue with the EPS cables, some even without a top-mounted AIO.
We will do more case reviews in the near future and will have more comparison data.
Thank you for your comments!
