Right, as mentioned. Most of the design remained the same. We'll now start building a PC with some components. We've received a black/orange model, which I think looks better than the all-black version, but that, of course, is a personal preference.
Right, let's build us a system. We'll install an MSI motherboard fitted with the be quiet Shadow Rock TF 2 CPU Cooler (review) paired to a be quiet! Power Supply (review). Hey, we kept things in line.
We'll mount a LED array to the front right side, we point the LEDs inwards so we'll have little reflection on the glass. There's a lot of room for wiring at the front side, that's not an issue. The orange colored rubberized grommet holes, well I guess you either like or dislike the color. Personally, I would have preferred all black.
So at the backside, the cable routing space roughly is two cm, I really would have liked a bit more, especially with the PCB in place. You just do not want to much cable clutter pressing on the FAN/RGB controller.
At the bottom, we have mounted the PSU. As mentioned the cover and PSU installation can be a bit of a downer, it's not a user-friendly process at all. I do realize I am nitpicking tremendously here though. BTW in this photo, you can see why I mentioned the spacing for cable routing, if you do not pay attention, cables will press onto the controller PCB, keep that in mind.
And here we have her powered up, you can switch the RGB LED colors to your preference of course. Yeah, a quite familiar looking product eh? it is still a nice looking product, but it somehow does seem to age a bit styling wise. Let's look at some more photos on the next page though.
