Installation

Even though the case looks quite complicated and somewhat menacing, the actual installation could not be simpler. Installing all the parts on the mainboard is completely traditional. Just place all the parts on the tray and slide it back into the case. The power supply is also pushed in through the back of the case. Due to the construction of the PSU bracket you will not use some of the rubber spacers, like the one included with the Thermaltake Toughpower.


Installing the drives is completely old school as well. The hard drives are secured inside the cage with normal screws, while the optical drives are locked with the plastic devices. These do hold the drive, but there is an unusual amount of play even in the locked position. It is a good thing that Cooler Master has built the locks so that you can also add traditional screws to secure the drives.

Finished Looks

Once all the cables were installed, the side panel is placed back on the case. As you can clearly see, placing the inner door with the fan brackets is not possible when using the Scythe Infinity.


The power button and hard drive activity LEDs are blue as well and quite strong. The reset button does not have a light, but glows due to the hard drive LED next to it. When powered on, the blue LED fan can be seen through the mesh of the front covers. It draws some attention to this massive case in the dark.
