So it's time to put some components inside the, what now slowly is becoming a, PC. We insert an Gigabyte Z77 Micro ATX motherboard armed with an Core i7 3770K CPU and 32 GB of memory. This is in fact our FCAT setup we use to test graphics cards.

As you can see this cute little motherboard packs everything you need from LAN to 7.1 channel sound and heck you can even mount a graphics card or two on there. There is a decent amount of space available as you can see. Also using a full height heat-pipe CPU cooler would not be an issue.

At the opposing side we inserted the power supply and deliberately used too many cables (despite this being a modular PSU). As you can see you can easily tuck away the cables, after which they are nicely hidden behind the right side panel.

You'll notice that in the front the power button and HDD LED activity (to the left), to the right a 3.5mm headphone and microphone jacks, and in blue two USB 3.0 ports.

Well there she sits, not bad for 90 USD housing we think, thuogh some nice white LEDs would perhaps have been nice to see included. That would have spiced the system up a little.
