Product Showcase - The Build

The Build 

It is time to gather some gear and build us a PC. I am not going to go all extraordinary with extensive and custom liquid cooling etc., we'll be building a typical system that you guys would build at home.

We used a basic mock-up motherboard with a heat-pipe cooler. It has been asked many times, why not use LCS in the reviews? It's for the simple reason to see if a heat-pipe cooler actually and properly fits.

At the back side we route all cables for the motherboard etc., there is plenty of space there.

Once you route your cables, you can close that cover again and see how that cleans up, that's just very tidy.

As you can see, there is plenty of clearance to mount everything, for cable routing you'll see plenty of grommet holes (rubberized) and lots of gaps and space to tuck stuff away. The ATX power cable for example you can route behind the VGA holder.

I always like to test if the system is still alive before closing everything up, and yes, we're lucky.

Oh, quick check, yep... see the front-side RGB system there, nice.
