Product Showcase - The Build

It is time we move into the "Maker" mode. We start by selecting and installing a power supply and motherboard. As stated in this review, the power supply compartment is massive, you get roughly 30cm clearance there, also handy for tucking away cables.

  
Please do not forget to power up the LED and FAN system with a SATA power connector that feeds directly from your power supply. 

As you can see, cable routing will not be an issue. The indentation in the doors/panels allows for an extra ~2cm of clearance so that's all really good. There are plenty of gaps and grommet holers (rubberized) for a clean cable management. 

Since our Cosmos C700M is black/silver we'd wanted a dark motherboard. We use our dummy setup, a simple dark black colored MSI motherboard with some red accents. The installation is fairly simple as you have a ton of space to work in. This already is starting to look nice.

The C700M as stated comes with a VGA bracket and riser cable. I assume you'd use it. You can, however, remove the bracket and go for traditional horizontal positioning, some will want that for reasons of SLI. In this case, I've mounted a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti onto the bracket with two screws, then underneath you push the riser cable into the card and lead it to the motherboard PCIe slot. The riser cable connector on the VGA card is simply pushed in, it's not secure or mounted on anything. That does feel a little icky but works out fine though. 

The incredibly fun thing is that that bracket can be position on a 90 Degree angle or any angle you prefer, have a peek at the lower two photos as wll: 

Yeah, a 45 degrees Angle somehow works best for me. Once power up, the pages slowly starts to happen. Howe special is this look:
