Assembly

Adding a motherboard is done with traditional mounting elements, using spacers and screws. As you can see, I have used a slightly more compact CPU cooler to have it fit within the chassis. Once the board is installed and you have connected all the leads, you may place the GPU plate back in its spot and add the graphics card of your choice.


Each of the trays for a hard drive allows for either a 2.5" or 3.5" drive to be installed. However, due to the design of the large cage, one tray only offers enough height for the 2.5" variants. Deepcool utilizes screws and rubber rings to secure drives to the trays and eliminate any vibration from being passed on to the rest of the case. There is a simple tension-based locking mechanism so that the tray itself does not come out of the cage, but gravity is definitely lending a helping hand as well.


You may add a single SSD that is shown off through the top window to a metal tray, which we have seen in other Deepcool cases as well. Simply screw the drive of your choice down and put the tray back in its place. RGB LEDs in the plastic frame will light it up once the system is turned on.


Lastly, adding a power supply is pretty straightforward. First, rotate the case 90° on its side, add the unit, and and wire it up in a clean fashion with the Velcro strips and zip ties.
