So it's time to put some components inside what is now slowly becoming a PC. There is surprisingly much space for anything and everything really. Good cable management, huge space for the power supply as well.

As you can see, this cute little Micro ATX motherboard packs everything you need from LAN to 7.1 channel sound and heck, you can even mount a graphics card or two in 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 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 and that power supply compartment. My one remark here is of missing rubberized inserts for the grommet holes.

So the clearance in-between motherboard tray and panel is a good 2cm, that's good.

For the power supply you can go crazy, there's a total of 30cm available in that PSU compartment, you need to account for some cable and connector routing of course.

Well there she sits, not bad for 69 USD housing we think, though some nice white LEDs would perhaps have been nicer to see included. That would have spiced the system up a little. I am loving that hidden power supply. It cleans up the aesthetics, very much so.
