A Closer Look - Reversing It


Oh, you thought we would dive into the assembly process now? Well, there is more before we go down that path. On top of the ability to adjust the height for a near limitless liquid-cooling setup, you may go as far as to reverse the motherboard. As you can see in the image above, that means that you have to take the entire chassis apart. It is impressive to see such modularity within a chassis, but it also means that this endeavor is not easily undertaken, and you need to bring along some considerable time and patience to flip the motherboard tray upside down. Thanks to the removable mounting screws for the side panel, you are able to keep using the glass panel on the proper side even after flipping the internal layout upside down.


I will spare you each individual step, but the result is a fully functional upside-down tray. The only thing you need to watch is the height as the PSU is now essentially right below the CPU area. But I could see users of liquid cooling potentially moving the board all the way down without loosing the space for the PSU and thus, no PCIe bays would have to be sacrificed with a thick radiator setup in the ceiling, which is simply mind boggling.
