When we remove the left side-panel you'll notice that paintjob again. From A to Z everything was painted, and that definitely helps with the innards of the PC. Let's zoom in a little.

As you can see extremely nice cable management. Also notice that the backside was powder coated bringing the actual hardware visibly more outside. BTW see that green sticker on the top Radeon HD 4870 ? Try and remember that, I have a little tail to tell about it later on in this article.

If you did not opt water-cooling, you'll end up with a Zalman CNPS 9700 cooler which for transportation reasons is not yet installed. An easy job though, just apply a little thermal paste (comes with the kit) on the processor, secure the Zalman CNPS 9700 cooler with the retention bracket and two screws .. and you are set. We can now power up the PC (after connecting monitor, keyboard etc).

Of course nicely hidden is an orange colored cold-cathode light illuminating the innards of the PC. A contrasting blue lit rear fan was installed there to bring a little balance to the color schema we think. Unfortunately, that fan will rotate at 100% RPM all the time, it's a noisy POS.
