A Closer Look - Inside

The motherboard tray is made out of a single, thick sheet of anodized aluminium. It comes with two cutouts for CPU cooler bracket access as well as simple cable management. If you look closely, you will see two sets of mounting holes for hard drives. You may install either two SSDs or one 2.5" and one 3.5" drive here. There are no other mounting possibilities within the Antec Torque, which may put those off who simply need more storage. Antec could easily solve this issue by including a mounting bracket or two which use the fan-placement possibilities to hold additional drives. Another option would have been that jagged piece of bent aluminium above the PSU bay, which could easily hold another set of mounting holes with some added surface area.




The PSU bay is accessible from the top as long as you have no other components installed. Should you want to swap things out, you have to detach one of the gray pieces on the side of the chassis to gain access. This means that you have to choose between removing the motherboard and GPU or the glass panel and gray plate with all the attached black knobs and spacers—both options are a bit complicated. That, however, is a small price to pay for looks like this in my humble option.


All the cables within the Antec Torque are black and pretty standard, so you should not have any issues connecting everything. The only unusual connector is the one for the backlit "A" as it requires a Molex plug.
