It is time to start building the PC. In the next few pages we'll show you what we are installing and how that works as an experince. We'll mount an MSI X99 motherboard, a 240mm LCS cooler from Corsair, a GeForce GTX Titan X and mount a Corsair AX series power supply.

The biggest job will be removing the top compartment of the chassis, at the sides and top you will need to remove a screw or 10 in total. Once you have lifted the top compartments you'll notice a secondary tray unit which holds three 120mm fans covered by a removable dust filter. These will need to come out.

You now mount the radiator unit, fans and that upper tray with the screws you got with your LCS kit. You tie them together again and above is the result. You can now carefully place the top compartment back onto the chassis. This is an unhandy and a bit of an intricate job in total. But definitely worth your while as that radiator will simply 'dissapear' inside that chassis.

Once we have the top compartment mounted we inserted the motherboard, and realized we ran into a problem. The stand-offs / risers on which you mount the motherboard did not line up with the EATX form factor motherboard. So we could not mount is secure to the left side. We had to take out the risers and re-positioned them to the left, the holes are already drilled of course.

Once we moved these standoffs, we now are able to mount the motherboards tight and secure on the motherboard tray.
